The Manning Foundation for Building Democracy is pleased to welcome attendees of Manning Best Practices Forum V to attend a private screening of  The Hong Konger: Jimmy Lai’s Extraordinary Struggle for Freedom on Friday September 23rd at 6:00PM in the Events Centre at the Cambridge Hotel and Conference Centre in Red Deer, Alberta.

Jimmy Lai personifies Hong Kong’s entrepreneurial spirit. This spirit, coupled with an embrace of freedom, unleashed economic prosperity for Hong Kongers and made Jimmy a billionaire. Jimmy’s native China underwent a similar prosperity by undertaking an experiment with personal and economic freedoms, lifting an astounding 800 million Chinese out of poverty. Today, it’s a different story—and the stakes couldn’t be higher for Jimmy Lai, the citizens of Hong Kong, and the people of China. Watch the trailer here.

Food and drinks will be provided.

This documentary was put together by The Acton Institute a think-tank whose mission is to promote a free and virtuous society characterized by individual liberty and sustained by religious principles. Learn more about the Acton Institute.

We look forward to welcoming you September 23rd. The Manning Foundation Team
