The first episode of the Hong Kong reclaimed “Social Worker” series (1976)

The third episode of Patrick Tam’s anthology series “Seven Women” (1976), with three short stories combined.

“Dare Ya!” explores what has made the members of Hong Kong’s most controversial band, LMF (LazyMuthaFuckaz), the new “voice of Hong Kong youth”. Their music may raise eyebrows with the older generation, but to their hardcore fan base, LMF’s point of view is their “voice” and their music is the heartbeat–and their hopes, dreams, nightmares, concerns, problems, and solutions for their future. As the title of this raw, different, relevant, and timely film suggests, “Dare Ya!” is a challenge to Hong Kong to take a good look at itself, warts and all, because only by facing up to our flaws can we become the “World City” that we aspire to. “Dare Ya!” is not just a documentary about the exploits and growth of ten ordinary young men from the Estates who just happen to be members of a rap band, but a wake-up call for Hong Kong.
