emotionally moving (8)
I believe the answer is:
poignant
'emotionally moving' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for poignant that I've seen before include "Heart-rending" , "Painful" , "Deeply moving - no taping (anag)" , "Painfully emotional" , "Distressing" .)
