Tiananmen protest leader joins Hong Kong protests

The World

When Chinese troops were first sent to confront protesters in Tiananmen Square in 1989, protest leader Han Dongfang did not think soldiers would turn their guns on demonstrators.

Host Marco Werman talked with him about how he sees the protest movement in Hong Kong and how it could all end.
