"It was more than just a movie — it was a mirror to the past, and a punch to the heart."

American pawnshop owner, author, and content creator Evan Kail offers a raw, emotional reflection on Dead to Rights — the powerful historical drama, set to premiere in Hong Kong on September 4, 2025.

Kail, who has a personal connection to the atrocities depicted in the film, describes it as both "deeply disturbing" and "profoundly necessary."

"I was reduced to tears," he confesses, not only because of the harrowing scenes, but also because of the haunting familiarity of the history portrayed.

For Kail, the film stands out as a rare and vital work — one that educates, remembers, and dares to make the past visible again.

As audiences around the world begin to discover Dead to Rights, it reminds us why cinema still matters: to bear witness, to honor the truth, and to ensure that history is never forgotten.
