To fully illuminate the history of a censorship state, storytellers must show at least two sides: the view from inside the state and outside its walls. Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) in Australia has taken advantage of digital storytelling to unearth the kaleidoscopic perspectives surrounding the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. "After 6/4" offers a deep exploration of the events in Beijing, China through archival government reports, journalism and photography, including a timeline that compares reports from People’s Daily to other sources. For example, on April 27, People’s Daily went radio silent, while the Sydney Morning Herald reported that more than 100,000 students took control of Tiananmen Square.

One designer and three developers built the site in fourteen weeks. The entire site is bilingual—Chinese and English—which provided an extra challenge for development and content. It boasts 63 articles, 37 images and 13 videos, and users can view personal documentaries or add to the discussion. The platform asks users where they were when they heard about the events, and why should we remember them 25 years later. Their answers contribute to a bilingual conversation about memory and perspective across geographical lines. Developers relied on Grunt for debugging, and opted to separate audio into two categories: preloaded sound effects and streamed music. The single-page application is isolated from the regular SBS network, as the team felt it may be a high-risk target for hacking.
