禁片《十年》金像奬電影人伍嘉良：移英不是移民，是延續要做的事；以電影連結流散港人，一同重建港人族群力量
在迷惘的時代，陌生的處境之中，《記・香港人》打算盡力去記錄一個又一個移居英國香港人的故事，希望他們的剖白和分享，可以讓大家在摸索的過程中找到一點啟發，或者一點精神上的支持。
第一集的人物伍嘉良，他的團隊創作了電影《十年》，在數年前預言了香港變局，不幸地在今天逐一應驗。2020年，他決定離開香港。2022年，他籌辦了英國香港電影節，推廣播放已被香港禁制的港產電影。
他相信這次離開，並不是放下某些東西，而是負上了額外的責任。因為那段共同經歷，令到不論離開或是留下的人，都已經成了一體。
「離開，並非想開展美好的生活或者美好的前途，並不是用一種移民的心態。
我們過來這裡，是帶著某些想做的事，想延續的東西。」
伍嘉良敘述了如何在成長中發展出對時局走向的洞悉，剖白了創作《十年》背後的情感源頭，也分享了在創傷過後，如何思考在英國重新上路。
香港的公民社會被瓦解，四處流散，他打算在重建生活的同時，和其他港人一同重建人與人之間的互信，重建對香港的聯繫，去延續心中未完成的目標。
Facing uncertain times and unfamiliar surroundings, Hongkongers: A Re-Collection continues to do our best to tell the stories of Hongkongers relocating to the UK. We hope their candid sharing of experiences can inspire those who are still feeling their way in a strange land. We also want to give these explorers some support.
The first episode of the series is about Ka Leung NG, a co-producer of the dystopian film Ten Years. As the changes to Hong Kong foretold years ago in the movie unfortunately became a reality one by one, he decided to leave the city in 2020. In 2022, he launched the Hong Kong Film Festival in Britain, promoting and screening Hong Kong movies banned in the city.
Far from leaving something behind, he believes he has taken on additional responsibilities after moving out of Hong Kong. Regardless of whether they have chosen to stay or not, according to the cinematographer, Hongkongers are united by a common experience.
“We chose to leave not because we wanted to live a good life or improve our career prospects. We don't see things the way an immigrant does. When we came to this part of the world, we brought something with us. These were the things that we wanted to do, and to continue to engage in.”
Ng explains how he developed an understanding of the times as he grew up, while revealing what motivated him to create Ten Years. He also shares thoughts of rebooting his career in the UK after going through certain distressing events.
As the dismantling of Hong Kong's civil society has driven a growing number of worried residents to up sticks, Ng, who has started rebuilding his life, is working to achieve his goals of rebuilding trust among people and re-establishing links with Hong Kong. Noting the significance of the projects, he hopes to enlist the help of fellow Hongkongers.
In addition to profiling individual Hongkongers and publishing their stories, Hongkongers: A Re-Collection aims to work together with people around the world to witness and chronicle the transnational activities of this diaspora group.
