Synopsis
Mongkok's crowded streets serve as the backdrop for a government initiative in 1994 to demolish rooftop dwellings. The Hong Kong Housing Authority, which had previously accepted these structures, now considers them private property. The order affects 40,000 homes, and residents who moved in after 1982 face eviction without fair resettlement terms. Video Power documents the tense negotiations between residents and officials before the demolitions begin.
