Join us for an online screening of the Oscar-shortlisted documentary 76 Days (2020, 93 min), followed by a discussion with filmmaker Hao Wu.
On January 23, 2020, China locked down Wuhan, a city of 11 million, to combat the emerging COVID-19 outbreak. Set deep inside the frontlines of the crisis in four hospitals, the film tells indelible human stories of healthcare workers and patients who struggle to survive the pandemic with resilience and dignity.
“A Riveting documentary…[an]astonishingly candid and deeply wrenching portrait of death, suffering and compassion"—Ann Hornaday, Washington Post.
“The first essential COVID-19 doc […]76 days didn’t even need to be as good as it is: that it’s so artfully and elegantly observed, and packs such a candid wallop of feeling, atop its frontline urgency is testament to the grace and sensitivity of its directorial team, not just their timely savvy”—Guy Lodge, Variety.
