1994
- In conversations with many refugee student leaders and dissidents still living in China, the documentary examines the historical developments that led to the democracy movement of 1989 and the complexity of the movement itself.
The jury awards the film for its sensitive documentary strength (including previously unseen material) of the 1989 Chinese Democracy movement. This enables a world-wide audience to appreciate its context and the young leaders who embody qualities not only for China´s future but for that of the world.
