"Every movement needs a voice." Kino Lorber has unveiled the first official trailer for a documentary film titled Denise Ho: Becoming the Song, which is premiering at the Frameline Film Festival this month. The film is a profile of the Hong Kong singer and activist Denise Ho, who achieved famed as a commercial Cantopop superstar. But when she joined HK's Umbrella Movement of 2014, supporting the students and protestors, she was arrested and then blacklisted by China. Under pressure, sponsors dropped Denise and venues refused to let her perform. The film follows Denise on the road as she tours the U.S., Canada and UK and prepares to release a new hit song, attempting to rebuild her career. But it soon became clear she is also reflecting on her life's trajectory. This looks like a compelling documentary about the striking realization your life is more important dedicated to activism than to popstar fame, and how that changes who you are. ›››
