The film, which was directed remotely in Europe by Chinese activist Ai Weiwei, combines footage captured by dozens of volunteers and film crews from within the closed-off city at the epicenter of the pandemic, as well as other quarantine zones across China.
If you are interested in seeing how things were handled in the early goings of the COVID-19 pandemic in Wuhan, China, then Ai Weiwei’s documentary Coronation is going to be your best bet.
Through the use of hidden cameras, Coronation captures some of the biggest moments of the pandemic, including the construction of instant hospitals, the doctors and nurses working within their newly constructed halls, and the people who found themselves trapped as cities began to shut down.
