Wuhan, I Am Here

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wuhan, I Am Here (汉语: 武汉,我在)is a 2021 documentary film directed and written by Lan Bo, and produced by Archibald Pei. It records how a fiction film crew, unexpectedly detained in Wuhan due to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, followed local volunteers to save the non-COVID patients and ordinary citizens.[1][2]

The film is a development on the director's 2020 short film "Wuhan: The Long Night"[3] and was screened on Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival (YIDFF) 2021, as that year's only Special Invitation Film.
