School on Fire

School on Fire (學校風雲, 1988) is a Hong Kong crime drama you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Ringo Lam, the film tracks what happens when a teenage girl dares to testify against a triad gang — and the gang decides she owes them for it.

After schoolgirl Yuen Fong gives evidence in court over a brutal beating, gang leader Brother Smart puts her under pressure to pay protection money. She refuses. What follows pulls in her family, her school, and everyone around her, and the film gives none of them an easy way out.

Released in 1988, School on Fire is one of Ringo Lam's most uncompromising films — lean, brutal, and clear-eyed about how organized crime hollows out a community from the inside. Watch it online on iFILM.
