The Year of Chameleon
1997, Cantonese, on ATV. Created by Leung Tin & Jimmy Sin Chi-Wai.
'The year of chameleon' is a powerful modern drama, played out against the last few months of British rule prior to the 1997 change of sovereignty. The piece focuses on one man's ruthless ambition, a 'gat rich quick' obsession that causes heartache to all round him. It also exposes how cruel a man can be to achieve the goals, even at the expense of friendship and family. Chameleonic behavior is no longer extraordinary anymore in this society.
