HONG KONG, April 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Now TV's on-demand service, Now True, is dedicated to curating high-quality programmes from around the world and presenting original works under its Now True Original label, specifically crafted for Hong Kong audiences. Aside from creating Cantonese dubbing scripts, the brand also invites well-known artists and industry professionals to serve as voice narrators. The Cantonese dubbing script for the documentary Shades of Indigo, written by scriptwriter Yip Ka Man, has recently been nominated for the 2026 EGA's Hermes Awards in the category of "Best Script Adaptation for a Dubbed Audio", bringing the production onto the international stage. The film will compete alongside leading titles such as Stranger Things and Squid Game Season 3, with results to be announced on 16 April 2026.

Directed by Shigeru Yoshida, Shades of Indigo marks his first feature-length documentary, chronicling the stories of artisans devoted to the art of indigo dyeing. After the Industrial Revolution, "synthetic blue" dyes became the mainstream in textile production, yet the film's protagonists have remained steadfast in their use of traditional indigo dyeing techniques. The documentary's unique theme vividly showcases the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship. Now True has specially invited Hong Kong film director Adam Wong to serve as voice narrator. During the recording session, Wong praised the thoughtful scripts production, and now, with industry recognition through the EGA Hermes Awards nomination, this achievement holds even greater significance.

Now True Original features a diverse range of content—ranging from sports, food, art, music to gang culture and indigo-dyeing techniques—each widely appreciated by audiences. Its voice-narration lineup is equally star-studded, featuring Stanley@MIRROR, Serrini Leung, Sumling@COLLAR, Michelle Loo, Adam Wong, Joey Leung, Justin Cheung, Alton Diwei Yu, Peter Cheung, and Lau Shun-man.

HONG KONG, March 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Now TV is showcasing seven titles that collectively received 18 awards at the 98th Academy Awards, including "Best Documentary Feature" winner Mr. Nobody Against Putin. The film, which previously won the World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award at Sundance Film Festival 2025, is now available exclusively on Now True. Set against the backdrop of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the film captures the moral struggle of a courageous teacher navigating a system drenched in indoctrination and violence. He documents how his school is transformed into a recruitment ground for war, where so called "patriotic education programs" manipulate students into supporting Russia's military campaign — exposing the grim reality of propaganda and control within classrooms.

Sentimental Value available exclusively

In addition to Mr. Nobody Against Putin, film lovers can also enjoy a range of Oscar-winning films through Now TV, including two of this year's biggest winners — One Battle After Another and Sinners — as well as Sentimental Value, the winner of the "Best International Feature Film", which will be available exclusively on Now Video Express (19 Mar) and MOViE MOViE On Demand (26 Apr).
