"other birds would probably forget how to sing in the constant dark." most depressing thing i've heard EVER. amazing documentary, though, really. thanks endlessly for translating!
Couldn't have said it better. I am also fascinated by this sort of place. Reminds me of the steampunk/cyberpunk culture but in a more realistic and tangible way. Cheers.
I can hear the kids screaming at the old woman collecting scrap metal "wow she is so aweson" in Catonese. I was born that kowloon not the wall but i know what and where they were referring to, most these places have been knocked down. The only place in Hong Kong similar to this is a place call Chungking Mansion it is a maze in there it is no fucking joke people a dark place where pure pure evil can exist there have been people murdered, killed raped, mugged etc.
Shit, I went there three years ago, now its a huge park with flamingos in it...I had no idea there had once been all that though. Kowloon is fuckin crazy.
hi! i'm working on an article based on kowloon walled city and there are some information in this documentary, which i would like to cite. do you have some detailed information about the source of this documentary? thanks!
Sad this place doesn't exist anymore, but then people would be filming "I dare you to lick the ground" videos all the time. Me, I wouldn't do it for all the tea in... well.

While watching this I keep finding myself rewinding over and over, trying to catch every little detail of the city and the people.
that old lady is a beast! 10 stories to climb everyday! my respect for her.
10 stories to climb multiple times a day!
Hell of a place to be in a power outage
Probably had them at-least twice a week there if not more often.
+R5H4D0W Probably had the opposite problem.

Many thanks for this - much better for me having English Subtiltles to follow. I'm eagerly awaiting part 4!
i just can't believe this place once existed
comme le vent yeah but even the poorest slums dont look like this
Plus kowloon w.c. is very dark, which makes everything weirder
Oddly enough, this makes me desperately want to visit Hong Kong.
people who lived their said it wasn't lonely but a community.
i can imagine this to be some sort of fantasy dwarven city. filled with magical creatures and buzzing with activity.
I wonder, did tourists ever visit this place? I would.
Awesome, thank you!

@HelmutVillam Thank you, for letting me know
It is, indeed! Amazing how we humans can take something simple like housing to extremes like this.
I know but the mystique is still there in some forms and I just meant the feeling itself.
@TegamiNeko Seeing that the place was torn down decades ago, it's our past.
8:11 (duh) LOL gogo pigeons!

@classiccarv8 It's up. Enjoy!
isent this place abandoned or tore down
That little dog was supposed to protect those expensive pigeons?
More like Blade Runner or even a very musty Soylent Green city.
Throw some Tetsuo in there too.
@odgm12345
demolished around 1991 I think
I really hope that "sedulity" is a super-common word in German, 'cause that's a very obscure word in English. Poor translator
The Doku is German I can understand it :D
This is something out of a Christopher Nolan Batman movie.
The city has been torn down in 1991
reminds me of L.A.
Walled city has been demolised since 1993
Against cats! Against human thiefs there are the Triads (Chinese Mafia).

So where did all the inhabitants go web the city was torn down.
