Brief Introduction:
For decades, The White House (白屋) stood abandoned on Hong Kong’s Mt. Davis. With a history that extends over the last century, the site was a longstanding reminder of war and conflict.
Now, detainees from the 1967 riots recount the tumultuous times leading to their imprisonment there. Historians and architects together capture the essence of Mount Davis’s past.
Today, the University of Chicago has transformed the site completely, giving it new life as a center for education. This documentary presents a compelling account of the rich history of the Mt. Davis site as well as its rebirth.
