Ponders questions of power and change, politics and culture, as refracted by the events in Tienanmen Square. The film layers Chinese popular songs and classical music, the sayings of Mao and Confucius, women's voices and the words of artists, philosophers and other cultural workers. Also discusses the Chinese film industry and censorship. 538 DVD-R. 546 In English and Mandarin, with English voice over. 590 PFA 0230-127-12879.|aCONDITION NOTE: Last checked: 2008/12 /01 Excellent condition. 600 00 Confucius. 600 10 Mao, Zedong,|d1893-1976|xPhilosophy. 650 0 Philosophy, Confucian. 650 0 Motion pictures|xCensorship|zChina. 650 0 Motion pictures|xProduction and direction|zChina. 650 0 Music|zChina|y20th century. 650 0 Popular music|zChina. 651 0 China|xCivilization|y20th century. 651 0 China|xPolitics and government|y20th century. 651 0 China|xSocial life and customs|y20th century. 655 7 Documentaries and factual works|2mim. 655 7 Personal/independent works.|2mim. 655 7 Features.|2mim. 700 1 Trinh, T.
