香港立法会星期二（3月19日）无异议通过一项倍受各界关注的重大国家安全法案，再次引发外界对特区政府在北京授意下挥舞国安大棒进一步限制香港自由的担忧。
2024年3月15日，擦星星事务所与HKAAB在伯克莱加州大学联合举办了阿古智子首次监制的纪录片「幸彤在监狱」北美首映观影活动。 邹幸彤是毕业于剑桥大学的香港大律师，前支联会副主席（编者注：支联会是1989年5月成立的香港市民支援爱国民主运动联合会）。
邹幸彤因在2020年和2021年组织和参与纪念1989年天安门镇压的烛光守夜活动，在2021年12月和2022年1月分别被判「参与未经批准的集结罪」以及「非法煽惑他人参与」 两项罪名，刑期共22个月。 同时，香港警方还根据《国安法》指控邹幸彤及前支联会主席李卓人、副主席何俊仁「煽动颠覆国家政权罪」，一旦定罪幸彤可能面临长达10年的刑期。

在这部纪录片中，阿古智子通过结合幸彤参加支联会活动的影像，来自香港、中国、韩国、日本、马来西亚等地受到幸彤的影响的社会活动家和学者的采访，以及幸彤在狱中 的书信，尝试还原她面对强权绝不认罪的心理状态。 幸彤在2021年6月4日被捕后，在狱中仍然坚持绝食以纪念六四民主运动，当她在法庭被问及是否明白罪名时，大喊「悼念六四无罪」。
15日的观影活动有几十位伯克莱学生和三藩市湾区居民到现场支持，大家共同的关注是邹幸彤面临的莫须有罪名的指控案件，以及「国安法」以及「基本法第二十三条」通过后香港人权议题的现状。 放映结束后，香港前学联秘书长周永康先生进行了映后分享，他讲述了自己曾经在香港服刑的经历，以及作为离散港人如何处理自我身份与现今美国社会议题关系的思考。
「人类与强权的斗争，就是记忆与遗忘的斗争」。 擦星星事务所呼吁公众长期关注邹幸彤案，关注在香港和中国狱中的良心犯。
On 15 Mar 2024, Star Shiner and HKAAB co-organized the North America premiere for the documentary "She's in Jail", a debut production by Ako Tomoko at UC Berkeley. Hong Kong barrister and Cambridge graduate Chow Hang-tung, the protagonist, is the former vice chairman of Hong Kong Alliance in support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China.
Chow was convicted of "participating in unauthorised assembly" and "illegally inciting others to participate" in December 2021 and January 2022 respectively for organising candlelight vigils commemorating the Tiananmen Massacre victims in 2020 and 2021, with a total sentence of 22 months in prison. At the same time, the Hong Kong police also charged Chow, former chairman Lee Cheuk-yan, and vice chairman Albert Ho with "inciting subversion of state power" under the National Security Law. When convicted, Chow could face up to 10 years in prison.

In this documentary, Ako combines footage of Chow organising activities for the Hong Kong Alliance, interviews with social activists and scholars from Hong Kong, China, South Korea, Japan, and Malaysia who were influenced by Chow, as well as letters to and from Chow after she was jailed. These detailed accounts shed light on Chow’s life story, illustrating her unwavering determination to not plead guilty in the face of powerful oppression. Despite her arrest on 4 June 2021, Chow persisted in a hunger strike in prison to honour the memory of the 1989 democracy movement in China. When questioned in court about understanding of her charges, she defiantly chanted "there is nothing guilty about remembering 4 June victims."
On Friday, dozens of Berkeley students and San Francisco Bay Area residents came to the premiere, expressing deep concern over groundless charges against Chow, and the enactment of the National Security Law and the Basic Law Article 23 in Hong Kong. Following the screening, Mr. Alex Chow, former Secretary-General of the Hong Kong Federation of Students, engaged with the audience in a Q&A session. He shared his experience serving a prison sentence in Hong Kong and shared insights on navigating the challenges of working as a youth minority professional in the United States, while fostering solidarity for diasporic Hong Kongers.
"The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting." Star Shiner urges the public to maintain focus on Chow Hang-tung’s case and on the plight of prisoners of conscience in jails throughout Hong Kong and China.
