Tiananmen Annie at Hudson Theatre

In June, 1989, Ann Starbuck was an American student on a year's sojourn in China. Pro-democracy demonstrations broke out in Beijing Tiananmen Square and, working as a production assistant for CNN, she suddenly found herself swept up in the middle of historic events. She was there. Assisting camera crews; escorting a dissident to a news interview; making forbidden friendships. She was there. But it isn't just the story of harrowing conflict and the massacre that followed. It's the story of a young American woman who fell in love with China, and of the friendships she made there that would impact her life forever.
