Declassified: Tiananmen Square

Many in the west remember the 1989 anti-Communist demonstrations in Tiananmen Square, Beijing; far less publicized were the tragic events that followed, including the violent deaths of hundreds of labor activists and pro-democratic students. The History Channel documentary Declassified: Tiananmen Square brings to the world for the first time long-unseen footage of these tumultuous occurrences, intercut with revealing, confidentially interviews with Chinese governmental officials. All reflect, candidly and pointedly, on the price that many paid for their beliefs during a time of great political tumult and dissidence.
