For No Power to Push Up the Sky, fifteen people translate an interview with student protest leader Chai Ling conducted in Beijing on May 28, 1989, one week before the Tiananmen Square massacre. The video positions translation as interpretive and demonstrates the complex process of locating meaning across language, culture, and politics.
