I don’t think I want to live here but some type of video game set inside it would be most welcome.
Is there a documentary anyone can recommend that takes us to street level?

Don’t know offhand if a documentary, but a film set in a similar area (Kowloon-adjacent, same vibe) is Chungking Express.

Haven't seen any documentaries, but Blood Sport shot a few scenes inside.

I played this game a lifetime ago and don’t remember Kowloon.
Thanks for the video. Helps me avoid replaying it!

Fairly certain there is a doc/film shot in the city, though I don't recall the name, although it might be mentioned in this video I watched recently about the city https://youtu.be/hoNclh1K_zY

Its so fascinating. I know it must not have been good living there, but utterly fascinating to hear about.

Maybe from this book? Drawing on the Inside: Kowloon Walled City 1985
