Richard Bangs' Adventures with purpose. Hong Kong, quest for the dragon
2010

DVD

This one-hour public television special follows Richard Bangs as he journeys through a city that blazes like a great pageant of light ... a place that pushes the limits of the possible ... and not so much predicts the future, as invents it. Why is Hong Kong so prosperous, so energized, so vital, so cutting edge? Richard's quest is to discover what unique forces drive Hong Kong to virtuosity and greatness. Some say that to understand the heart of Hong Kong one must 'look to the Dragon.' So Bangs is in Hong Kong for one of the most dazzling festivals on earth, Chinese New Year, when the vital, flowing energies of the dragon inhabit the jungles of the imagination; when the pyrotechnics awaken the good beasts and usher in a new beginning. He travels from the towering structures in Central and Western Hong Kong and across Victoria Harbor to the Kowloon peninsula. He sails to the ecological preserve, the National Geopark and to Lantau Island.
