How Hong Kong documentary Never Too Late shows the healing power of the city’s nature

Its rescuer is Hidy Yu Hiu-tung, a model-turned-diver who is one of four Hongkongers spotlighted in Never Too Late, the first feature by Hong Kong director Rikki Choy.

Human Ip, an artist and author who swapped city life for the farm, is also featured, along with nature photographer Fung Hon-shing and Anthony Choy, a property agent with a passion for painting birds.

Through these diverse personal journeys, the documentary showcases Hong Kong’s stunning natural landscapes – from forests and fields to oceans – while emphasising the significant impact individual actions can have.

The film’s overarching message is one of inspiration, reminding viewers that it is never too late to care, to act and to protect the environment we live in. In fact, Rikki Choy was so inspired by Yu’s work, she took up diving during filming.
