WUHAN WUHAN is an observational documentary unfolding during February and 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, WUHAN WUHAN goes beyond the statistics and salacious headlines and puts a human experience into the early days of the mysterious virus as Chinese citizens and frontline healthcare workers grappled with an invisible, deadly killer. The film focuses on five heart-wrenching and endearing stories: a soft-hearted ER doctor and an unflappable ICU nurse from the COVID-19 hospital; a compassionate volunteer psychologist at a temporary hospital; a tenacious mother and son who are COVID-19 patients navigating the byzantine PRC healthcare system; and a volunteer driver for medical workers and his 9 month pregnant wife whose heartfelt story forms the backbone of this film. 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.

John Anderson Wall Street Journal For all the disorder and sense of emergency, there’s also a combination of human sweetness and cosmic serenity to be found in “Wuhan Wuhan.” Jul 7, 2022 Full Review Deborah Young Hollywood Reporter Without sensationalism, Wuhan Wuhan makes its quiet mark through its natural approach to a culture where people appear not to rebel against the strict government lockdown. Apr 30, 2021 Full Review Grace Han Asian Movie Pulse In light of the blatant anti-Asian violence across the Western hemisphere, “Wuhan Wuhan” achieves what it was going for: to give face to the virus’ epicenter. Rated: 4/5 May 25, 2022 Full Review Ryne Clos Spectrum Culture Wuhan Wuhan is wholly observational; the filmmakers do not make any overt statements of any kind, let alone political ones. May 12, 2022 Full Review Carson Timar Clapper Wuhan Wuhan feels like a worthy addition to the COVID-19 documentary genre and serves a unique purpose even when compared to the other films capturing the same event. Feb 22, 2022 Full Review Christopher Cross Tilt Magazine Changs documentary offers a poignant look at humanity in the face of a large-scale crisis.
