The early moments of the COVID-19 pandemic in Wuhan, China are set to get the big-screen treatment in Wuhan!, Wuhan!, a feature documentary that has been set up as a U.S.-China co-production, with Hong Kong martial arts star Donnie Yen (Ip Man, Rogue One, Mulan) and Oscar winner Donna Gigliotti (Shakespeare in Love, Silver Linings Playbook) signed on as producers.
Co-directed by Chinese documentary filmmaker Gong Cheng (A Bite of China, Voice of the Earth) and award-winning documentarian Yung Chang (Up the Yangtze, China Heavyweight), the film follows 36 hours in the life of disparate characters interwoven through the virus-blighted city of Wuhan.
