Wuhan Wuhan

When the city of Wuhan, China locked down at the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, it was nearly impossible to get a clear sense of what was happening. But one film crew was able to document life at the epicenter, including portraits of a couple expecting a baby, quarantined families in a byzantine shelter, dedicated medical workers, and a psychologist facing her own family crisis while helping patients with the unknown threat. In a time when the world needs greater cross-cultural understanding, the film offers an invaluable depiction of a metropolis joining together to overcome a crisis.
