Documentary Title: People Over Time
Synopsis: Focusing on the Hong Kong working class in the midst of a global pandemic. Although there are growing needs for isolation and self quarantine measures, there are simply some who cannot afford for their lives to come to a standstill. ‘People Over Time’ focuses quite literally on the amount of people seen over time. Rush Hour’s in the morning and the evening see the largest influxes of travellers in the MTR stations, so I decided to travel into Hong Kong side to witness how many people still choose to or are forced to go to work, essentially ignoring their safety.

Appreciate that you are looking into a social-economical issue in this narrative. You have presented to us imagery and narrative of HK citizens who continue to commute despite covid-19 fears. To further this investigation, it is worth looking into WHO these people are, WHAT sectors of labour are they in, WHY would they rather risk their health and safety? Also, there needs to be a minimum of 3 for bibliography references.
