Germany's Leica moves to distance itself from Tiananmen video

BEIJING (Reuters) - Germany's Leica Camera AG has distanced itself from a promotional video that depicts a news photographer covering democracy protests at Tiananmen Square amid a backlash on social media and broad censorship of the brand's name.

The five-minute video, called "The Hunt", includes a dramatised scene in which a photographer runs from Chinese-speaking policemen before capturing the iconic "tank-man" photograph of a protester standing in front of a convoy of tanks to block their path.
