Set in 2019, THE UNRESTRICTED WAR follows Jim (Dylan Bruce), a top-tier Canadian virologist working in China who believes his medical research will change the world for the better. However, when he and his wife are suddenly arrested by the military, Jim is demanded to do the unthinkable: steal a dangerous sample of his work from his own lab in Winnipeg. And, if he does not comply, his family will face the consequences. If that’s not enough, things begin to spiral out of control when the population of Wuhan begin to fall ill to a new viral infection that proves fatal. In this 1on1, we speak to Ma about the power of truth and walking the line between fiction and reality.
