In December 2019, a large-scale outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, China. Within just a few months, the virus rapidly spread across the globe, with the number of infections and deaths climbing relentlessly. As of today, over 150 million people worldwide have been infected, and more than 3.3 million lives have been lost. How did this pandemic begin? And more importantly—can humanity learn from it to prevent history from repeating itself?
Behind the Chinese Communist Party’s aggressive rhetoric and military intimidation toward the free world lies a darker truth—one that is hidden beneath the polished image of national “rise” under Xi Jinping’s leadership. In this heavily surveilled state behind a modern-day iron curtain, the people themselves have become mere stepping stones in the dictator’s grand imperial fantasy. It’s not only the marginalized who are oppressed, but anyone who dares to long for their inalienable rights—for freedom, dignity, and truth. Giloo presents a selection of independent documentaries from China, guiding you into a reality both dazzling and dark. Inside the borders built by walls, beware the quiet yearning of the soul—for freedom cannot be killed, only contained.
