Hello everybody, I am a film student taking a class on chinese political film and I was thinking about wrtiting my term paper on the cinematographical takes that exist on the tiannamen square (sorry if I'm not spelling that correctly) protests of 1989; Do you know of other chinese (or non-chinese) films beside summer palace that deal with this subject (and that are hopefully available somewhere with some sort of english subtitles or translation)? Thanks in advance!
