Summary
Seventeen-year-old Alex Jackson is thrilled when his father, a cameraman, asks Alex to join him on assignment in China. They both will become part of the great historical events that sweep China in the spring of 1989. As students and civilians demonstrate in Tian An Men Square for changes in the government, Alex feels the thrill of being a reporter. But his excitement turns to horror when he witnesses the death of his Chinese friend. Alex and his father know they must communicate the story to the rest of the world, but at what cost to their own lives?
