As a highlight of the screening, member international students facilitated an interactive discussion headed by Dr. Michael Manio, Chi Ian Tang (from Macau), Masaaki Onitsuka (from Japan) and their international students from the University of Hong Kong from (Germany, Belarus, Macau, Hong Kong, China, Bulgaria, Chile, Japan, Slovakia, Norway, USA, Canada, India, Ghana and Philippines).

The movie also featured Filipino traditions and famed spots which inspired the members to conduct a sharing of what makes each country unique, plus interactive games, all as part of the cultural integration and exchange program.

Because of the inspiration and fruitful exchange brought by the movie, the DWEP clamored for additional screenings the same day to accommodate the number of people from OFWs to students, who patiently waited to see the film. “Crazy, Beautiful You” was organized by SERVICE 100 DWEP in partnership with the Philippine Consulate General to empower Domestic workers in Hong Kong and students at the university.
