Olivia Martin McGuire (China Love) parallels a grandfatherâs journey to safety during the Cultural Revolution with his granddaughterâs fight for freedom in Hong Kong today. Interweaving unflinching testimony of the elderâs exodus from the Chinese mainland, exquisitely animated recreations of the perilous escape to Hong Kong through land and sea, and vivid, evocative archival footage of both mid-20th-century China and the Hong Kong protests today, Freedom Swimmer emerges as a gripping and timely account of the struggle for survival across generations.
