The Exiles

The Exiles documents Christine Choy's journey as she revisits her unfinished project from 1989, capturing the stories of leaders from the Tiananmen Square protests who sought political asylum after the tragic events of June 4. Choy combines her old footage with new interviews, traveling to locations such as Taiwan, Maryland, and Paris to reconnect with these individuals and share their experiences.

As a documentary, it highlights the impact of political events on personal lives and the importance of memory and storytelling. Christine Choy's brash and opinionated style adds depth to the narrative, making it an engaging watch for those interested in historical documentaries and the fight for democracy.
