The Exiles

Year: 2022
Country: USA
Language: English
Run Time: 96 minutes

In THE EXILES, Ben Klein and Violet Columbus work with filmmaker and Academy Award^® nominee Christine Choy in completing her documentary about Tiananmen Square. After an introduction of Choy, a character in every sense of the word, we get taken back to China in 1989, where non-violent protesters were attacked by the government. To this day we still don’t know how many lives were lost. Many of these people had to flee their country and haven’t returned since. Choy shares her footage with the exiles, and we get pulled into the personal stories of Wu’er Kaixi, Yan Jiaqi, and Wan Runnan. Did these men think their risks were worth it? THE EXILES aims to find out. —N.A.
