On the 30th anniversary of the massacre in 2019, the film drew more than one million views in six days, from May 30 to June 4. The film continues to be freely view-able at skyreporter.com and on YouTube.
When Black Night In June went online in late May of 2019, one of the pro-democracy students who appears near the end of the film, sitting on the Heroes Monument in Tiananmen Square some 30 years earlier, was recognized as Hong Kong civil rights lawyer Kenneth Lam. Journalists at the Hong Kong Free Press put filmmaker Arthur Kent in contact with Lam, who identified the young woman pictured at his side as Cheng Zhen, a Beijing university student who now lives in the U.S.
