Sinopsis
The Gate of Heavenly Peace is a feature-length documentary about the 1989 protest movement, reflecting the drama, tension, humor, absurdity, heroism, and many tragedies of the six weeks from April to June in 1989. The film reveals how the hard-liners within the government marginalized moderates among the protesters (including students, workers and intellectuals), while the actions of radical protesters undermined moderates in the government.

Esta película es una muestra del cine militante de los años 80. Los protagonistas son de lo más heterogéneo (desde políticos y profesionales de distintos campos hasta ciudadanos de a pie) y expresan sus opiniones acerca de los cambios acaecidos durante la Transición española. La inconveniencia de algunos testimonios y la sensación de crispación transmitida, hicieron que la película fuera “secuestrada” por la Administración, que impidió su estreno hasta noviembre de 1983.
Una historia de la Transición española contada en primera persona por los principales protagonistas: por un lado, los políticos, idealistas o meramente oportunistas, que la llevaron a buen término en las tribunas y los despachos; por otro lado, los ciudadanos que, en las calles, la apoyaron sinceramente o la combatieron con ferocidad.
