=== Planned Ideas ===
* According to Chan, he was originally going to make an action film starring himself about the protests but because he doesn't want to get injured again, he decided on a drama film instead starring a young boy and girl along with some British guys trying to survive the protests
* Originally, James was supposed to portray the tear gas effects and Brad portray the August 2019 protests but it was swapped because James hasn't suffered from a lung infection and Brad said that he'd rather be sick rather than be injured
* Chan originally named the girl Madison and the boy Matthew because they start with 'm' and that it is the first letter of the word, 'medicine'
** But because he said that they don't sound British enough, he changed it to Emily and Edward to make it sound more British
*** Also because 'e' is the second letter of the word, 'medicine'
* The film was originally going to be in Cantonese but because Chan collaborated with production companies from the US and UK, he made the film bilingual
