Sunrise Over Tiananmen Square

1998NR29m7.7

An autobiography about the director's life, career and ultimate disillusionment with The People's Republic of China.

This film illustrates the life of the film director, Shui-Bo Wang in The People's Republic of China. We learn of the life of the director in his own words and images from a child steeped in the values of Chinese communism exemplified by Chairman Mao, to a young man striving to live up to those ideals both as an artist and a soldier. We also learn of his disillusionment with Chinese society and those same ideals, culminating in the horror of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre.
