Hong Kong as seen by Orson Welles

During a break from the production of "Ferry to Hong Kong" (1959), Orson Welles spent three weeks touring Colonial Hong Kong and Macau documenting the ongoing refugee crisis, constrasting the miserable situation on the roofs, in the streets, in the mountainside, on the sampans and in the Forbidden City with the opulent and luxurious high life of Hong Kong.
