Inside Corona

Inside Corona offers a unique behind-the-scenes look at the COVID-19 crisis. At Ghent University Hospital, both the patients and the tireless staff fight their own battles. The hospital braces itself, ready for an uncertain number of patients to come.

We follow pulmonologist Eva Van Braeckel and Pieter Depuydt, the coordinator of the intensive care unit, as they navigate the ongoing crisis. We also meet fashion photographer Zeger Garré, who contracts COVID-19 and shares regular updates on social media about his journey with the disease. How has his condition evolved?

The documentary also explores why there is still no vaccine for this deadly virus. Virologist Johan Neyts gives us exclusive access to his groundbreaking research at the University of Leuven’s renowned Rega Institute. Inside the lab, researchers are feverishly testing on mice. Is there hope for a rapid vaccine?
