I Was There: Kate Adie on Tiananmen Square

This documentary presents a long-form interview with Kate Adie, who shares her harrowing experiences while reporting from Tiananmen Square. Adie recounts the moments when she was wounded by gunfire and narrowly escaped death as she and her cameraman faced the chaos of pro-democracy demonstrations, where an estimated 2,000 demonstrators were killed by government troops.

In addition to Adie's personal narrative, the film includes insights from historian Professor Steve Tsang. This collaboration enriches the documentary by providing a broader historical context to the events of 1989. The film also draws from the BBC's extensive archives, offering a unique perspective on how filmmakers have depicted China before and after the upheaval.
