To mark the anniversary, I’m re-sharing my conversation with Wu’er Kaixi—one of the leaders of the 1989 student movement.

A powerful conversation on democracy, memory, censorship and China.

37 years after Tiananmen Square, I’m revisiting one of the most powerful conversations I’ve had on Perspectives with Neilo.

Wu’er Kaixi was one of the leaders of the 1989 student movement in Beijing.

We spoke about Tiananmen, democracy, censorship and what many in the West still misunderstand about modern China.

Following the Irish premiere of A Foggy Tale at Dublin’s Savoy Cinema, I sat down with Dr George Hong to discuss the film, Taiwan’s White Terror era, historical memory, identity and the growing cultural links between Taiwan and Ireland.

A fascinating conversation about cinema, history and resilience.

After the screening, I spoke with Dr George Hong about Taiwan’s White Terror era, the historical background behind the film, Taiwanese identity, and why stories like this still resonate today.
