在 #六四三十七 週年前夕，季風書園特別舉辦紀錄片《天安門之夜》（Tiananmen Tonight）放映及映後對談，邀請導演 Michael Streissguth 親臨現場，與讀者一同回望1989年那個改變中國、也深刻影響世界新聞史的夜晚。
《天安門之夜》將鏡頭帶回新聞現場——聚焦 Dan Rather 與CBS新聞團隊如何在極端不確定與高壓之下，堅持把北京街頭正在發生的一切傳遞給世界。影片讓人重新看見：在歷史轉折點上，記者不只是見證者，更是風險的承擔者；新聞報導不只關乎資訊的傳遞，也關乎公共記憶如何被保存、如何被延續。
映後交流中，現場觀眾也圍繞新聞倫理、媒體責任，以及三十多年後我們為何仍需不斷回望六四展開深入討論。那一夜留在北京街頭的聲音，也透過影像再次來到華盛頓。感謝導演與每一位到場的朋友，在紀念將近之時，與我們一同見證歷史，也一同思考：在今天，真相與勇氣究竟意味著什麼。
On the eve of the 37th anniversary of / Tiananmen Massacre in 1989, JF Books is specially hosting a screening of the documentary *Tiananmen Tonight* followed by a post-screening discussion, inviting director Michael Streissguth to attend in person and revisit with readers that night in 1989 that changed China and profoundly influenced the history of world journalism.
*Tiananmen Tonight* brings the lens back to the news scene—focusing on how Dan Rather and the CBS News team, under extreme uncertainty and high pressure, persisted in delivering everything unfolding on Beijing‘s streets to the world. The film allows us to see anew: At turning points in history, journalists are not just witnesses but bearers of risk; news reporting is not only about transmitting information but also about how public memory is preserved and carried forward.
In the post-screening exchange, on-site audience members also engaged in in-depth discussions around journalistic ethics, media responsibility, and why, more than thirty years later, we still need to continually look back at June Fourth. The sounds that lingered on Beijing’s streets that night also reached Washington once more through the footage. Thanks to the director and every friend who attended, at this time of commemoration, for bearing witness to history with us and reflecting together: In today‘s world, what do truth and courage truly mean?
