Fallen Treasures

About This Movie

Fallen Treasures digs deep into the heart of a sawmill that’s been part of Hong Kong’s timber narrative for decades. The film captures the grit of the Chi Kee Sawmill, showcasing the evolution of the timber industry—from the booming 80s and 90s to the current shift towards recycling and sustainability. There’s a palpable sense of nostalgia as the documentary paints a portrait of the workers whose lives are intertwined with the wood they process. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to really sit with the emotional weight of the impending eviction, while the interviews and practical scenes breathe life into the industry’s decline and resilience. It's a raw exploration of heritage and loss that stands apart in today’s documentary landscape.
