I was scrolling through Weibo last night, halfway through a bag of shrimp chips I’d overpaid for at the Asian grocery store, when I saw it: a behind-the-scenes featurette for the new psychological thriller ‘Redemption Dream,’ directed by and starring Nick Cheung. The caption talked about his ‘stay true to your roots’ approach—how he never forgot his humble beginnings while chasing his filmmaking dreams.
My first thought? ‘Wow, this looks intense.’ My second thought? ‘I need to watch this ASAP.’
So I clicked play. And there it was. The spinning wheel of doom. The buffering. Then the dreaded message: ‘This content is not available in your region.’
I actually groaned out loud. My cat, Mochi, looked up from her nap like I’d personally offended her. Because here’s the thing—it’s not just about missing a movie. It’s that feeling of being cut off from a piece of home.
I remember watching Nick Cheung movies with my cousins back in Hong Kong, all of us squeezed onto one sofa, passing around a bowl of lychees. The sound of Cantonese dialogue, the specific rhythm of the humor, the familiar faces—it was comfort food for the soul. Now, living in Toronto, those moments are harder to come by.
And it’s not just movies. It’s variety shows my mom references in our weekly calls. It’s the new pop song everyone’s dancing to on Douyin. It’s the historical drama my grandma asks if I’ve seen yet. That spinning buffer icon isn’t just a technical glitch—it’s a little cultural disconnect.
I called my friend Lisa in Melbourne after my failed viewing attempt. ‘Girl, same thing happened to me with that new cooking show,’ she said. ‘I was two minutes into a recipe for steamed fish and—poof—geo-blocked. I almost cried into my disappointing attempt at mapo tofu.’
We laughed, but there’s truth to that frustration. For overseas Chinese, these shows and movies aren’t just entertainment—they’re threads connecting us to language, family, and memory. When they buffer endlessly or block us out entirely, it feels like losing a frequency on a radio dial you’ve been trying to tune back in.
So yeah, I still haven’t seen that ‘Redemption Dream’ behind-the-scenes feature. But I’m determined to—both for the movie itself, and for that feeling of connection it represents. That little preview I did see? Nick Cheung talking about his artistic journey with such earnest intensity? It just made me want to see the whole thing even more.
