We realize that Wuhan was the epicenter of an epidemic that put a start to a deadly toll across the globe. As some may get angry at the country of origin of the virus, “Wuhan Wuhan” shows what the western world got wrong.

By gaining impressive access to frontline healthcare workers in Wuhan, filmmaker Yung Chang takes the viewer to Hubei’s province that is in a complete shutdown. As a factory worker turned into an essential worker, Yin drives doctors to their workplace. The film brings us closer to the people infected with the deadly virus. Each one of them gets to survive in a difficult situation. In overwhelmed ICUs at the highest capacity, doctors create a special bond even with the most difficult patients to give them hope which viruses like Covid can take away instantly.
