Tank Man - Resistance (Minipod #4)

Resistance is the refusal to accept or comply with something forced upon an individual or group of people, usually by political or military forces. At its core, it is any action that rejects oppression and subjugation and chooses instead to fight for liberty and self-determination. One of modern history’s most striking examples of resistance is the image of a young Chinese man standing in the way of a column of tanks in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square. In this episode, we will tell the story of how this man's solitary action became the most recognizable symbol of resistance in modern history.
