Tiananmen 20 Years Later

from FRONTLINE: Extras Podcast | PBS · host FRONTLINE

This week, FRONTLINE marks the 20th anniversary of the violent crackdown in Tiananmen Square with a rebroadcast of its 2006 documentary "The Tank Man" - the single individual who stood up to a column of tanks and became an iconic image of the fight for freedom around the world. In this podcast, FRONTLINE catches up with producer Antony Thomas for a behind-the-scenes glimpse at one of the film's most memorable moments. Also, Evan Osnos, who reports from Beijing for The New Yorker magazine and FRONTLINE/World, gives a first-hand account of how the city has changed since the film first broadcast--including young Beijingers' conflicting views over the Tank Man and the outcome of the pro-democracy demonstrations.
