China - Moving the Mountain
An old man lived by mountain that blocked his view, and so he determined to move it stone by stone. To those who laughed at him he said: "My sons and their sons will carry stones. The mountain will be moved."
This story offered a metaphor for change in China for a participant in tonight's film, which opens a new season of documentaries highlighting the work of independent film-makers. It is the first project as a film producer by actress Trudie Styler and it traces events leading up to the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989 and its aftermath, seen through the eyes of the student leaders involved.
The director is Michael Apted , whose work includes feature films such as Coal Miner's
Daughter and Gorky Park. Series editor Andre Singer
A Xingu production forSBCtv

Twenty years ago, the world was gripped by the most elaborate, most outrageous political scandal of the century:
Watergate. As BBC2's new
Sunday-night series recalls the facts of the case,
Jason Robards returns in a timely repeat of this fictionalised account which features his acclaimed turn as President
Richard M Monckton.
When the series was first shown in 1977, audiences still fresh from the real events delightedly put names to the TV stars. The Times critic wrote of Robards (unmistakably Nixon): "He is so unnervingly good as the President that it would not surprise me to see him running on the Republican ticket in 1980. That, of course, was left to another American actor.
