Jeff Widener, one of the photographers who took the famous picture of a lone protester defying a line of tanks in Tiananmen Square, is filmed by the BBC returning to the scene on the 20th anniversary of the crackdown on students demonstrating in Beijing. He is interviewed by James Reynolds.
Widener, then of Associated Press, was one of four photographers who got the shot of the protester. The others were Charlie Cole, Newsweek, Stuart Franklin, of Magnum on assignment for Time, and Arthur Tsang Hin Wah of Reuters.
The New York Times' Lens blog compares the four photographers' pictures and has quotes from all of them.
