    Filmed over 18 months, Lessons in Dissent is a kaleidoscopic, visceral portrait of a new generation of Hong Kong democracy activists. Joshua Wong's campaign to stop the introduction of National Education begins to snowball when an interview goes viral on YouTube; microphone in hand, he leads 120,000 protesters into battle. Meanwhile, former classmate Ma Jai fights against political oppression on the streets and in the courts.
