Moving the Mountain

Beijing, May, 1989. The world watched as a hundred students became a thousand, a thousand became ten thousand, as thousands became a million - and a nation starved for freedom, cried out for a taste of democracy. In this compelling film, director Michael Apted , captures the power and passion of the Tiananmen Square uprising through a unique combination of newsreel footage, dramatic re-enactments and extensive input from the actual student leaders.
