Introduction to 'Moving the Mountain' documentary

'Moving the Mountain' is a documentary about the pro-democracy demonstrations that took place in and near Tiananmen Square, Beijing in 1989. The story is told from students point of view.

On 10th December 2010 (human rights day) there will be multiple screenings around the World of 'Moving the Mountain' in honour of Liu Xiaobo's Nobel Peace Prize. Amnesty International has produced a short documentary to introduce 'Moving the Mountain', to be shown before each screening and features interviews with key human rights activists from 1989 demonstrations.

Liu's an Hero of china, 1989 was a bad year of china, but also a good year for China. For this event comes the reforming of the Chinese communist system. I have feeling for the students who made, what china today. China does have freedom now a day.I visited twice a year. But the past is gone, we need to move on. China is completely a different country now a day.I think people shouldn't keep on bashing china any more. it is a complex country with 1.4 billions people with foods and cloths.

@radhikashar301 Kent State University United States of America circa 1970 police shoots four dead for having demonstrated against the war in Vietnam and invasion into Cambodia. Know your own history before you crictize other people.

I am appalled by the reckless killing of students in Tiananmen Square. How could the army attack civilians (from its own country) and brutally open fire at them as if it were in a war!

My heart goes out to the innocent students (and their families) who were out there to silently express what they stand for... and never went back home :(

Kudos to Liu and his peers for their courage to initiate the movement, stand up for what he believed in, even if it meant incarceration and suffering.
