'Wuhan Driver' is a timely, and crucial story that speaks of the many faces of racism. Overt and insidious, intentional and unconscious, systemic and loudly enforced - racism has many forms, and the short film is a sincere endeavor in exploring them. <br><br>

Essentially the story of only one night when a driver attempts to turn up for his job, and execute the tasks that follow, the film proposes how when the same tasks are viewed through the lens of race, everything changes. How the rise of a virus in a part of the world across the globe is blamed on a man in the US simply because he looks a certain way or speaks differently. In the process, the absurdity of it all is pronounced emphatically and unequivocally by the narrative.<br><br>

The confined physical space of the visuals further echo this sense of isolation that surrounds the protagonist, someone in a space that refuses to accept him as its own. The film is an important story, and it is a very welcome prospect to look forward to more storytelling by Tiger Ji, as his voice evolves and grows to find its footing.
