Remembering Tiananmen

Friends of Tibet's commemoration the 17th Anniversary of Tiananmen Square Massacre in Bombay with the screening of the documentary film: 'Tiananmen: The Gate of Heavenly Peace'.

The documentary is about the 1989 protest movement, reflecting the drama, tension, humor, absurdity, heroism, and many tragedies of the six weeks from April to June in 1989. The film reveals how the hard-liners within the government marginalized moderates among the protesters, while the actions of radical protesters undermined moderates in the government. Moderate voices were gradually cowed and then silenced by extremism and emotionalism on both sides. It is a sobering tale, for faced with the binary opposition between Communists and anti-Communists, there has been little middle ground left for the rational and thoughtful proponents of positive reform in China. By giving these ignored voices their proper place in history, the film reveals an ongoing debate in China concerning the importance of personal responsibility and moral integrity.
