China is rolling out a state-backed film praising Wuhan ahead of the anniversary of the 76-day lockdown in the central city where the coronavirus was first detected.

A lone movie goer attends the first screening of the film "Days and Nights in Wuhan" in a cineplex in Wuhan in central China's Hubei province on Friday, Jan. 22, 2021. China is rolling out the state-backed film praising Wuhan ahead of the anniversary of the 76-day lockdown in the central Chinese city where the coronavirus was first detected.

The film is one of at least three documentaries released about the Wuhan lockdown, including “Coronation” by activist artist Ai Weiwei, who now lives abroad following a campaign of harassment by China’s ruling Communist Party.While “Days and Nights in Wuhan” may benefit from strong state support, Ai’s “Coronation” has been rejected by festivals, theaters and streaming services.

“We wanted to record the journey of battling against the COVID-19 epidemic via motion picture. Some of the details, including the intense care, anxious waiting, heartbreaking farewells and hopeful rebirths, might strike a chord with viewers,” Cao was quoted as saying by state broadcaster CCTV. Following a thinly attended showing in Wuhan on Friday, Wang Yu said the movie had awakened both memories of the trauma of lockdown and fears for what might still lie ahead.

The preponderance of opinion among experts is that the coronavirus emerged from Wuhan, possibly from a wholesale food market where live wild animals that could carry the virus were sold. China’s government, however, has sought to cast doubts on the concept of Wuhan as the source of the pandemic, pushing fringe theories that the virus was actually brought from outside the country, possibly by U.S. soldiers.

No more

No mention of how the virus was able to cross species there?

So they are releasing some communist propaganda OK thank you. Now how do we make them pay for COVID-19 worldwide for all of it absolutely everything related to COVID-19?

Distributed by Disney ?

Fuck CCP

All these gimmicks cause Chinese are scared of public outrage and revolt

I fart my applause.

This is like Germany praising Hitler for being a great Fuhrer.

pot kettle black.. USA celebrating epic failure and no support for its people.🤷

US State-sponsored media refuses to call China’s film propoganda and put blame on China for letting a man made virus wreak havoc on the global economy... why is it so hard to do this?

Can any western country end an epidemic in 76 days? If not, stop bitching.

Fake News... Everyone knows the virus came from white European patriarchs. To imply that it may have come from China is VERY xenophobic and disappointing.

If they had nothing to do with it why would they make a propaganda film while still quarantining millions of people? china ChinaJoeBiden ChinaLiedMillionsDied ChineseVirus

They learned well from Hollywood, huh?

History is written by the winners and China is the winner in this Coronavirus mess even if it is the place where it started.

At the end of all this, this global human tragedy which this virus knows no boundaries, knows no color or nationality, doesn’t discriminate against gender there’s no victory because we were not UNITED AS ONE from the beginning, but we must learn

The level of brainwash coming from the Chinese communist party

What happened to that reporter who disappeared?

Produced by CNN and directed by Beijing Biden.
