The Last Crayon: a movie about children from M21
This story about five primary school children who take on a challenge and survive was directed by Jeremy Yung Wai-mi and Henry Poon.

They see the best and the worst of Hong Kong, the trouble facing the city, the prejudice and hatred of some of its people, and the ways in which this can distort children's thinking.
