Filmed in 1960 during a break in the production of "Ferry to Hong Kong," this short documentary records Orson Welles’s three-week journey through colonial Hong Kong and Macau. The film documents the refugee crisis and extreme social inequality of the period, contrasting overcrowded rooftops, sampans, hillside settlements, and street life with the city’s visible wealth and colonial luxury. Structured as a reportage essay, the film presents a stark observational portrait of displacement, poverty, and privilege within a divided urban landscape.
