Directed by Nanfu Wang
Nanfu Wang (One Child Nation), uncovers how the Chinese government turned pandemic coverups in Wuhan into a triumph for the Communist party. This documentary is an essential narrative of firsthand accounts of the coronavirus, and a revelatory examination of how propaganda and patriotism shaped the outbreak’s course–both in China and in the US. 2021, US, in English and Mandarin with English subtitles, 95 minutes. World Premiere. Premieres.
The opening night festivities include a ticket to the screening, a Rabbit Hole Bourbon tasting in the Gheens Court, a commemorative portrait by a Rabbit Hole photographer who will e-mail the portraits after the event, and a Rabbit Hole and Sundance gift bag at the end of the night.
