"How did this happen? When will this end?" Gravitas has revealed an official US trailer for the pandemic documentary Wuhan Wuhan, from filmmaker Yung Chang. This is being released at a strange time right when everyone has seemingly moved on from the pandemic, all the while the COVID-19 virus continues to infect more people. The film is an observational documentary unfolding during February & March, 2020 at the height of the pandemic in Wuhan city, where the coronavirus began. With unprecedented access at the peak of the pandemic lockdown, it documents the work of doctors and caretakers in the city doing their best to help the sick. The big pitch: "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." Sure that's a nice message, but I don't think this doc will achieve that. It's also not the only doc film made from Wuhan footage at the start - there's also 76 Days and CoroNation and In the Same Breath - all of them about China. ›››
