Tiananmen Tonight: NYC Premiere and Discussion

Please join us for the NYC premiere of the documentary film Tiananmen Tonight, which looks back at CBS News’ coverage of the pro-democracy protests in Tiananmen Square in Beijing in 1989.

The film explores the role that news media play in covering breaking news and bearing witness to world events. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion led by co-director Michael Streissguth, a professor at LeMoyne College, our sister Jesuit school in Syracuse, New York. Participants will include ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff, former CBS News President Susan Zirinsky and some other CBS News alums featured in the film. Admission is open to all and free, but RSVP is required by October 15 at [email protected]. There is likely to be a reception beforehand, so please RSVP ASAP to get notified about that
