The Image of the Tank Man

On June 5, 1989, one day after the Chinese army’s deadly crushing of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests in Beijing, a single, unarmed young man stood his ground before a column of tanks on the Avenue of Eternal Peace. Captured on film and video by Western journalists, this extraordinary confrontation became an icon of the struggle for freedom around the world.

FRONTLINE on China. Originally aired in 2006. Looks at one of the most powerful images in history and how the country transformed economically in light speed since Tiananmen Square. (Not so much politically.) On one side there is the modern, wealthy and urban; on the other, the rural, poor and disenfranchised.

Designboom had a great post awhile back about the artwork of Liu Bolin. Worth a look.
