Panorama
Escape from Tiananmen
1991 • E18 Jun 2, 1991
Two years after the massacre in Tiananmen Square, Panorama reveals the story of Yellow Bird - the underground operation that spirited many pro-democracy activists out of China under the noses of the communist authorities. In the programme, much of which was made secretly inside China, Gavin Hewitt also talks to the students who stayed behind.
