Despite many positive reviews for "The Gate of Heavenly Peace" in the US media, Feng Congde, with the support of other Tiananmen survivors, participants and supporters, sent an ‘open letter’ to the directors and producers of the documentary in 2009. He addressed several issues with the documentary, urging the producers to “correct the false reporting and editing” in the film. Feng also criticized the producer, Carma Hinton for her affiliation with Chinese officials (notably Zhou Enlai and Zhang Chunqiao) and participation in the Cultural Revolution.
