Human Rights in Asia

Description

This episode examines the historical record of human rights in China and Vietnam. "Moving the Mountain," a documentary directed by Michel Apted and produced by Trudie Styler, profiles former Chinese dissident Li Lu. As an economics major at Nanjing University, Li became politicized and took part in the student protests in Tiananmen Square in 1989. In an interview, Li discusses his life in exile in America and his success as an investment banker. Another documentary excerpted is "From Hollywood to Hanoi," about a Vietnamese-American's journey back to Vietnam. Filmmaker Tiana Alexandra wrestles with her own feelings about the war as she visits My Lai, the site of a massacre by American troops, and sees her film as an instrument of reconciliation between Vietnam and the U.S?
