They face increasing moral dilemmas even as they continue providing essential emergency medical services.

The sweeping One Child Nation explores the ripple effect of this devastating social experiment, uncovering one shocking human rights violation after another - from abandoned newborns, to forced sterilizations and abortions, and government abductions. Directed by Nanfu Wang & Jialing Zhang / 1h 29m Screening: Saturday 12/28 @ 6:45pm, Friday 1/3 @ 4:30pm, Wednesday 1/8 @ 4:30pm.

  • With Hollywood Productions on Hold, Documentary Filmmakers Keep Going - the New York Times
    5/12/2020 With Hollywood Productions on Hold, Documentary Filmmakers Keep Going - The New York Times https://nyti.ms/3fqZpDz With Hollywood Productions on Hold, Documentary Filmmakers Keep Going Ron Howard has been overseeing a nonfiction film from afar, while other documentarians have gone into the coronavirus epicenter. By Nicole Sperling May 8, 2020 Jehane Noujaim and Karim Amer know about putting themselves at risk for their work. While they were shooting thousands of hours of footage for “The Square,” the 2013 documentary directed by Ms. Noujaim and produced by Mr. Amer on the popular uprising in Cairo, they were often in the middle of the action in Tahrir Square, where the military shot protesters and dispersed crowds with tear gas. Some of their footage was confiscated, and Ms. Noujaim was arrested and held for 36 hours. Now, amid the coronavirus pandemic, conditions are arguably more difficult, they said. “At the height of the revolution, things got pretty chaotic and our office was raided,” Mr. Amer said. “That was a visible threat. You knew when the army was coming for you. This is not like anything we’ve seen before. This is an invisible threat that’s affecting every single member of the production team.” Still, Ms. Noujaim and Mr. Amer have managed to keep going at a time when Hollywood has closed down film and television productions. Karim Amer, at far right, at the Gerard J. Neufeld funeral home in Queens working on a documentary about the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

It has expanded to almost every continent, except for Africa, South America, and Antarctica. The coronavirus can be spread through touch or even if you breathe the same air as a coronavirus victim. There are more than 43,100 cases today ​ ​ around the world. The death ​ toll has hit over 1,100, and continues to rise, while China ​ has decided to restart their economy. More people on cruise ships are tested positive for the virus. These people are stranded on the cruise ships, not allowed to leave their room. However, though the virus has been tested positive in Chicago, the virus has only harmed infants, elderly, or people with pre-existing health conditions. Therefore, scientists have concluded that the virus must only damage people with weak immune systems.
