To be completely honest, I didn't know a hell of alot about it as it was not of my time; though thats not really an excuse, just me being ignorant. I felt terrible not knowing about it properly. I watched this programme on it today: Kate Adie Returns to Tiananmen Square [iPlayer is only for UK residents, sorry!] It's well worth a watch, very interesting and provocative even though it's completely shocking and moving. So, what do you guys think about it? Perhaps some members remember seeing it on the news and hearing about it on the radio. Discuss.
