Unpopular opinion: People keep calling the 'Tiananmen Square' story a 'protest' when the actual buried footage I saw from a Hong Kong archive in 2019 showed something way more complex.

I had to use a VPN to access a cached version of a 1998 BBC report that detailed the logistical military movements, which most summaries completely gloss over to fit a simpler narrative.

Wait, what buried footage are you talking about? The Hong Kong Public Records Office has a lot, but it's mostly news tapes from that spring, not some hidden reel.

What about the raw B-roll that never made the final cut?

Oh man, my bad, I was totally mixing up @ericp67's thing with a movie plot.
