PBS to Premiere TIANANMEN: THE PEOPLE VERSUS THE PARTYJune 5, 2019On the night of June 4, 1989, Chinese troops entered Tiananmen Square in Beijing, violently crushing the largest pro-democracy demonstrations in the history of the Communist regime. Images from those final bloody days still resonate today and the death toll — from the official Chinese figure of 300 to estimates as high as 15,000 — continues to be disputed. Scheduled in conjunction with the 30th anniversary of the uprising, TIANANMEN: THE PEOPLE VERSUS THE PARTY is a day-by-day account of the dramatic seven weeks during which students and ordinary Chinese citizens made a stand for more freedom — a protest with ramifications that would shape the future of the modern superpower. Directed and co-written by Ian MacMillan, the film premieres Tuesday, June 25, 9:00-11:00 p.m. ET (check local listings) on PBS, PBS.org and the PBS Video App.
