The video covers the dismantling of a protest camp in Hong Kong, where bailiffs and workmen moved in to clear the area. Protesters, showing defiance, demanded to be arrested as a final act. Despite their efforts, demands for real democracy went unmet, with candidates in the 2017 election still being vetted. The cultural awareness in Hong Kong has shifted, with people becoming more politically aware and optimistic about future protests.

As the camp was demolished, hopes remained for the campaign's future.
