Yellowing (Chinese: 亂世備忘, lit.'Memo of the Troubled Times') is a 2016 Hong Kong documentary directed by Chan Tze-woon. Set against the backdrop of the 2014 Umbrella Movement, the film documents the struggles, setbacks, and emotions of the movement's participants while exploring Hong Kong's political and social changes.

This documentary gained attention for its firsthand perspective and authenticity. However, due to its sensitive political themes, it faced censorship at certain film festivals and cinemas. Despite this, it was screened at platforms such as the Golden Horse Film Festival (2016) in Taiwan, the Hong Kong International Film Festival, the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2020. And it is regarded as one of the most important visual records of the Umbrella Movement.
