A poignant view of America...., 15 March 1999
9/10
Author: John-304 from Midland, Ontario, Canada

This movie should be required viewing of every student (and some adults) in America. That would help to remind the entire country of its history. The lack of comments about this movie testify to the fact that this incident has been all but forgotten in a country that is so vocal about Tiananmen Square.
