EP49: The Hong Konger - Gracearchy with Jim Babka

Jimmy Lai came from mainland China – from a communist hell – to experience freedom to the fullest. He used that freedom to build a retail clothing empire in the East and then a media empire. Jimmy realized that freedom the freedom he discovered in Hong Kong was a blessing, even a gift. He was grateful for it. And so he spoke up for it as the Chinese Communist Party came to steal it. In fact, he paid a high price... He gave up his businesses, his wealth, and even his liberty. He sits in a cage. Jimmy is the subject of the new film, The Hong Konger. In this film, you'll learn history and geopolitics, but mostly, you'll relate to a man of awe-inspiring courage standing up to tyranny. Our guests... - Eric Kohn, from the Acton Institute and one of the producers of the film - Justin Arman, introducing you to ASG.Stream where you can watch this movie without commercial interruption.
