PICK OF THE DAY

CHIMERICA, 9PM, CH4

THIS gripping four-part thriller opens in 1989 in Beijing, China, where a plucky American teen captures images of the protests in Tiananmen Square — and the famous scene of a lone man defying t the tanks that r rolled towards him. Almost three decades later, that plucky American teen is now a jaded photojournalist (Alessandro Nivola, pictured), whose career is in tatters. Can finding the ‘Tank Man’ alive save his reputation? Based on a play by Lucy Kirkwood, and with Sophie Okonedo and F. Murray Abraham among the supporting cast, this story of personal redemption plays out on a grand, international political stage.
