WATCH TRAILER
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 award-winning filmmaker Yung Chang (Up the Yangtze) and a group of intrepid videographers were 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, WUHAN WUHAN is an invaluable depiction of a metropolis joining together to overcome a crisis.

“Wuhan Wuhan is a profoundly uplifting experience…They capture intimacy without interfering with it, acts of normalcy in strange times…The whole craft of assembly feel both completely natural, and cinematic, simultaneously.”
- KURT HALFYARD, SCREEN ANARCHY
“Wuhan Wuhan’s quiet, personal moments of struggle are what define it as more than just a film about COVID-19 – it’s about the ability for people to persevere and overcome adversity.”
- CHRISTOPHER CROSS, TILT
