Created as part of a documentary production course during my Master’s program in Journalism at the University of Hong Kong.
Mrs. Joan Campbell left the UK over 60 years ago to teach ballet in a remote island outpost in Asia. Originally only supposed to stay for two years, Mrs. Campbell still teaches ballet in Hong Kong today. Her two passions, ballet, and the love of her life are what have kept her from returning to her home country.
