Samuel Chu has been a community organizer in Southern California for the past decade. On September 26, 2014 he left Los Angeles to join his father–a Southern Baptist minister, community activist and key figure in the Occupy Central Movement–in what was to be a historic moment in Hong Kong’s struggle for democratic governance.
In this interview Samuel discusses his family’s history of faith-based activism and his observations as an eyewitness to one of the most important movements for human rights in current times, commonly known as the Umbrella Movement.
