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 for the struggle of freedom around the world.

This is one of the best episodes of Frontline I have ever seen. Check out the full length documentary here
It's long, but well worth it...

Nothing to do with this, but if you're a grown ass man don't say "really? I mean really?" that's some chick shit and even chicks sound stupid saying it. But when a dude says it it makes me want to punch him in the face.

Are you really a grown ass man going by the name "Jay Money"?

Thanks for the link to PBS... I really need to watch more of their docs & I appreciate the reminder.

Also, Jay is a douche.
