“The Unrestricted War,” a feature film inspired by events surrounding the early days of the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan five years ago, depicts how the Chinese regime restricted information and suppressed warnings, leading to a global crisis. The film will premiere in Canadian movie theatres later this month.
The fictional story follows Sophie (played by Nadia Hatta), a mother caught between loyalty to an authoritarian regime and the bonds of family. Raised under a totalitarian system that enforced mechanical obedience, Sophie’s internal struggle deepens as the consequences of her mission threaten her own family.
