Permission to film in Tiananmen Square? It's a trap.

The Chinese doesn't even want locals talking about Tiananmen Square. Foreigners filming there talking about what happened there? Call the ambassador, 'cause you're going to jail.

I'm not sure why they decided to film there but it seems they did not bring a translator to ease what problems they had that got them detained. Also they should tell people who they are and ensure on location that what they are doing is ok before filming in the first place. Shame it went that far though
