detail, much of it on cameras inside the wuhan red cross medical centre. there are shades of the aleppo documentary for sama in the sight of doctors working in what are effectively battlefield conditions, struggling to keep up with the human cost of this unfolding tragedy. we hear stories of people waking up next to dead relatives. we see a woman giving birth whose husband cannot be with her and whose baby must immediately be taken away. and we watch as phone calls are made to friends and family of the dead. at times, it all resembles a prophetic microcosm of everything that was to come. from the elderly gentleman who wanders the corridors insisting he's not ill to the isolation that leaves facetime as the only personal contact, the toll the virus takes on the aged and those suffering from dementia, and the heroism of the medical workers who see only an opportunity to do the right thing and feel the weight of being unable to save so many. credited to three film—makers, one of whom prefers to remain anonymous, this is harrowing fare. although amid the rom
