In Broad Daylight ({{Zh|c=白日之下}}) is a 2023 Hong Kong crime drama film directed by Lawrence Kan, from a screenplay co-written with Tong Chui-ping. It stars Jennifer Yu as an undercover journalist who investigates the suspected abuse of patients at a local nursing home. The film was inspired by two different nursing home scandals that happened in Hong Kong. In 2015, the Cambridge Nursing Home was exposed for stripping some of their female residents naked and leaving them outside while they were waiting for a shower. A year later, a former director of the Bridge of Rehabilitation care home was found guilty of assaulting a visually-impaired, underage female resident.{{Cite web |date=12 November 2023 |title= |script-title=zh:白日之下|取材自多宗偵查報道 01記者還原當日真實新聞採訪歷程 |trans-title=In Broad Daylight|Drawn from multiple investigative reports HK01 reporter restored the news interview process |url=http://www.hk01.com/article/960278/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231114185033/https://www.hk01.com/社會新聞/960278/白日之下-取材自多宗偵查報道-01記者還原當日真實新聞採訪歷程 |archive-date=14 November 2023 |access-date=20 July 2024 |work=HK01 |language=zh}}
