“An expert example of documentary cinema as a truth-telling device.”
– The Playlist

“Choy is an inspirational figure”
– Screen International

“The Exiles shows how much its subjects gave up and how little they won. Americans who hope to still have a democracy in 20, 10, or even two years from now should take note.”
– Hollywood Reporter 

Brash and opinionated, Christine Choy is a documentarian, cinematographer, professor, and quintessential New Yorker whose films and teaching have influenced a generation of artists. In 1989 she started to film the leaders of the Tiananmen Square pro-democracy protests who escaped to political exile following the June 4th massacre. Though Choy never finished that project, she now travels with the old footage to Taiwan, Maryland, and Paris in order to share it with the dissidents who have never been able to return home.
