You Are the Days To Come

synopsis

Travel back in time with six Chinese artists whose late-20th century creations represented the revolutionary dreams of a generation soon to be violently silenced by the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. It was the 1980s. Beijing was on fire. Young artists were fighting for political emancipation and artistic freedom and people dreamed of a different future. Framed by director Ronja Yu's personal memories, YOU ARE THE DAYS TO COME brings audiences back to this era of hope, enlightenment and rebellion. A cinematic film showing a decade rarely known outside China. Putting Tiananmen Square in a new perspective and revealing the power of art.
