Synopsis
After the mainstream media's portrayal, the people involved in the Queen's Pier preservation movement are often perceived merely as a group of radical protesters. However, within the movement itself, there exists a diverse array of individuals from varied backgrounds, each driven by their own beliefs. United in a shared social movement, they experience daily moments of joy, anger, sorrow, and hope. What binds them together is a shared conviction that their participation can change what is deemed unchangeable. After the clearance, Queen's Pier was heavily barricaded by wooden boards. Did they lose? No. Because there are still those who persist, continuing to engage with the movement, striving to transform the 'impossible'.
