76 Days

Beautiful and scary footage of what is was like in Wuhan for some of the doctors and nurses on the front line of Covid-19. Following patients and staff, you see the sheer luck of recovering from covid vs. Dying, and how quickly that was shown. We knew so little back then and the fear we all felt early on was very palpable in this. Despite the subtitles, you get a sense for the great compassion from the doctors and nurses in how much they care for their patients. Beautiful film. I was captivated for the entire thing.

76 Days

filmed mostly in a single hospital in the city of Wuhan, the film shows the period of 2 and half months of lockdown in that hospital and what goes there in that time period. Having access to these footages form the very first frontlines against COVID is what makes this film very special and important. It helps us understand and feel the horrors of those days when we didn't know much about the virus and its behaviour. The film makes of more appreciative of what the hospital staff, the doctors, nurses and everyone involved did for us. Thank you so much for saving us all.

This is far better than I expected. Well-edited, fast-paced, and emotionally-engaging. I think showing humanism is far more needed than showcasing cruelty simply as a spectacle.

Hard to watch, but a must see. The directors captured with such sensibility, respect, and care the essence of these people giving everything they've got to save these other people, like on a battlefield. To my fellow healthcare workers: THANK YOU. YOU GUYS ARE THE HEROES!

Doctors across the planet just want to save their patients. Government be damned. That's what I got from the film.

Now I want someone to make a documentary in an American hospital. There probably won't be much difference.
