“I grew up in a post-socialist, post-Cold War world … in a sense the past is always in the present.”

Tan Jia reflects on her childhood in post-1989 Guangdong, her intellectual ferment as an undergraduate student in Beijing, her adventures studying film in Los Angeles, and her life today in post-Umbrella Movement Hong Kong.

Host: Helen Leung
