adrenaline was so high and a sense of like, oh, we found her. >> reporter: she got emotional again when she got home. realizing her determination helped return a child to her mother's loving arms. >> i went straight in and i just hugged my babies and i was crying. i'm getting emotional now thinking about it. and i was crying. it was just a lot. you could just think, oh, that could have been me. and it was good to know my babies were at home. but that little girl, she didn't get to -- she wasn't at home with her mom. she wasn't safe. >> but thanks to you, she was. now. >> i just say it was -- it was god. god. god led all of that. >> i went home at the breakfast table. and everything that i wouldn't

the law never passed but it lit a fuse. hong kong residents were angry, accusing china of rolling back their freedoms, and hostility between police and protesters rapidly escalated. citizen "x" is part of the vanguard of the protest movement. they call themselves the valiants, or the brave. those who hold the front line and forcibly confront police. >> we have no other options but to win. this is our home, and we have to use every measure for us to protect our home. >> reporter: we met up with "x" again ahead of another protest. he and his group began by coordinating at a shopping center, discussing tactics. part ninja, part anime warrior. >> having no leader in this movement is the key essence. the government cannot predict, the police cannot predict. >> reporter: the crowd is like an organic beast.

>> she's pretty sassy, i would say. i think she really represents confidence. >> reporter: with almost 25 million instagram followers, emily ratajkowski isn't just a social media star. she's influencing the culture with her own distinct message of body positivity and feminism. what is your brand of feminism? >> it's just about the ability to choose, to be whatever kind of woman you want to be. to dress however you want, whether it be in a burqa or a bikini. >> reporter: she's turning heads and raising eyebrows with her skin-baring posts. why do you think of nudity as expressing yourself as a feminist? there are definitely people who would say that is not the case. >> i don't actually believe that nudity is expressing yourself. i think choosing to represent your body however you choose is an empowering thing. but i don't think that every woman needs to be naked. it's about choice. >> reporter: you came to kim kardashian's defense when piers morgan was making derogatory comments about her posting a

nude selfie. how important is it to you to really own the narrative? >> we shouldn't be taking women for how they represent themselves or their body or even their sexual past and judging them for those things because that's just not something we do with men. for me it's not even about taking the narrative into my own hands. it's about calling out moments where there is inequality and unfairness. >> reporter: ratajkowski burst onto the scene in 2013, starring in robin thicke's "blurred lines," which sparked controversy for its hypersexualized music video and lyrics. what did you think when the controversy started around that video? >> i wasn't surprised, but the director and the dp were women. i felt very comfortable with the sort of things that maybe some people deemed controversial. i understood what the idea was, and i liked it. >> reporter: what did you like about it? >> i liked that these women in this video were depicted as not

taking themselves too seriously, not taking these men at all seriously, and that there was a lot of humor behind it. it was about having fun and women sort of embracing their bodies. >> and emily ratajkowski joins us now. >> reporter: her career quickly catapulted from there. she started booking acting gigs. her first major movie -- >> oh, my god. >> reporter: "gone girl" starring as ben affleck's character's girlfriend. and as amy schumer's friend in "i feel pretty." >> you were dumped? >> can you stop saying dumped? >> of course. i'm sorry. i just assumed that you wouldn't have to deal with stuff like that. >> because of my body? >> reporter: all the while gracing cover after magazine cover. and now running her own clothing company. the brand does 96% of its business via instagram.

you post things and they sell out within minutes. >> yeah. it's wild. it's really crazy. >> reporter: what ended up leading you to create your own company? >> it was sort of a long road with many different elements. definitely always been drawn to fashion. also i think doing a couple licensing deals, and seeing sort of like, wow, they are able to really use my name and my image in a way that's super beneficial to their brand, why shouldn't i do that myself? >> reporter: ratajkowski self-funded the business and teamed up with her best friend, cat mendenhall, who has a background in fashion sales. >> we met in high school. she was a freshman. i was a senior. >> reporter: ratajkowski handles creative. mendenhall, the business side. >> this is the start of inamorata. where it all begins. all the magic happens. it's her brand. no one else is telling us or dictating how things should be done. >> reporter: ratajkowski sketches her ideas. they become reality. and her followers can't get enough.

we're on a walk. if i wasn't here, would you be thinking about something related to your product? >> when you're building a brand and company, you always have to be thinking about building that. i'm genuinely obsessed with branding and with my company. it isn't, as much as i share him, it's the same thing sharing inamorata. it feels natural. come on, bud. >> reporter: in this instagram-obsessed world ratajkowski seems to have mastered the art of sharing herr life while still finding quiet moments like these just for herself. for "nightline," i'm rebecca jarvis in new york. next, do you want to build a

disney, the parent company of abc news, expanded the limits of what we've come to imagine for princess films. >> the first one gave you these two heroines, but i like how kristoff was represented. you have great lines. there's one point where he rescues anna in the midst of a battle and he doesn't say i'll take over, he says "i'm here, what do you need?" and i thought that was a beautiful thing to say to your partner. so egoless. it's a beautiful example for kids. >> reporter: a beautiful example for a new generation of "frozen" fans. i'm abbie boudreau.
