Episode Synopsis
Hong Kong is facing one of the biggest crisis since Britain handed the city back to China in 1997.
For 10 weeks, protesters have shut down the city, stormed the legislature, and even shut down the airport.
Dozens have been arrested, scores of police and protesters have been wounded in clashes.
