​About the podcast:  Amanda Tattersall was a Lead Organiser with the IAF for 10 years (she helped set up our Australian network) and she now does a podcast traveling the world telling stories of social change. It's called ChangeMakers.

She just visited Hong Kong where she interviewed over 25 democracy leaders and campaigners ranging from 15 to 74. This trip was made possible with the help of Samuel Chu - a former leader with One LA and a Hong Konger/American.

The ChangeMakers Podcast series on Hong Kong goes deep into the politics of Hong Kong to try and better understand how the current protests have taken on the form that they have. Two episodes are now available. 
  • The first episode is on the early democracy movement, Tiananmen and the tradition of mass mobilisation. 
  • The second episode looks at the time after the 2014 Umbrella Movement and how that defeat helped shaped what is happening today 
  • (Separately there is an episode on the Umbrella Movement - Ep #12)

Hong Kong does not have universal suffrage, and its form of protest has taken shape in that political space. It teaches a lot about strategies the develop in authoritarian regimes. If you are interested in understanding what is going on in Hong Kong at a deeper level, and also just want to listen to some amazing stories of courageous leaders - you’ll enjoy this (and the two additional episodes that will follow over the coming months).  Listen here
