Genres & Description

Documentary

6.9 / 10

Over 65 million people around the world have been forced from their homes to escape famine, climate change and war in the greatest human displacement since World War II. Human Flow, an epic film journey led by the internationally renowned artist Ai Weiwei, gives a powerful visual expression to this massive human migration. The documentary elucidates both the staggering scale of the refugee crisis and its profoundly personal human impact. Captured over the course of an eventful year in 23 countries, the film follows a chain of urgent human stories that stretches across the globe in countries including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, France, Greece, Germany, Iraq, Israel, Italy, Kenya, Mexico, and Turkey. Human Flow is a witness to its subjects and their desperate search for safety, shelter and justice: from teeming refugee camps to perilous ocean crossings to barbed-wire borders; from dislocation and disillusionment to courage, endurance and adaptation; from the haunting lure of lives left ...

At first, it's the fear that's making people not accept one another because of the thought that refugees may be up to something, but let's watch this and see if something will change in ourselves. - @Sunday, August 19, 2018 11:24 AM

Every so often on a Saturday night my husband and I try to find a movie to watch. Lately it's becoming more difficult to find something that isn't total brainwashing propaganda. We need to realize that everything we consume as far as entertainment goes is specifically curated to make us feel and think a certain way. This garbage film is no different. Wake up people, the globalist elite want all of us useless eaters dead. Most of these people are NOT refugees. They are migrants at best and at worst they are invaders. And they are paying large sums of money to human traffickers to migrate. - @Sunday, July 15, 2018 4:56 PM

The people who go out of their way to leave hateful comments on a documentary which is made to show the hardship of people displaced from their homes -- you are disgusting. No one is making you watch this documentary. The second your heart strings get tugged and you think you're being guilted it turns to bitter defensive hatred, and it's not OK. Deal with your inner rage, and become better people. The majority of migrants who walk long journeys usually leave out of desperation, fear, and the real chance of starvation. Most of the people who shame migrants would do the exact same if you were in their shoes and needed to try to save your kid's future (if you had any moral integrity to try to take care of your family). People don't walk long distances with the threat of starvation because it's fun -- most hate it, and are devastated their home has become a place of death or terror. If most of you are men leaving these hateful comments, I'll put it this way -- be a man, confront your bullshit, & have the courage to grow a heart for other human beings. - @Sunday, July 8, 2018 10:38 PM

OK so now economic migrants are refugees????? Take them all in EU or US and what happens to the system there...goes to the dogs. FACT many of them will sit on welfare and be a drag on society while healthcare and social services become strined for the local population. Slowly you turn Wealthy countries into divided regions where the local populous go to places where they feel safe and No go zones for the rest. WHY not go to Iraq or Syria or Libya and create safe zones there . So they love Western Governments...implant one there on their land in those zones . Call it a colony, call it a special zone, call it what you want but at the end of the day, they will be on their land and feeling safe and making money. Same for Africa. - @Monday, June 25, 2018 11:44 AM

This is a failed experiment, its not about color, its about cultural differences. I was a refuge myself, arrived in america in the late 1980's, my mother explained to me that it was our job to integrate and respect this country belief system. We integrated, and learn the American way of life, the problem we see is that new immigrants or refuges have a sense of entitlement as if something is owed to them, its like inviting someone into your home and them taking over. Americans are very giving but they have boundaries, you got to respect that. - @Tuesday, May 8, 2018 12:41 PM

For every single person who writes a heartless comment after watching this video,just think for a second,doesn't any other human being deserve a comfort life like you? So what if they are refugees! They are human just like you and I! I swear to god if another human being can't understand the pain of a other person then I hope you go through exactly what they are going through! What way you will learn:) goodbye =] - @Sunday, April 15, 2018 3:11 PM

We terrible Europeans and Anglophiles should open our borders and bank accounts and our hospitals for the sake of other people's children, because our children will not need to worry about the future. After all, we westerners are all so well off that our own children will not even need to compete for work in a global economy; our housing is cheap as rain water; and what the heck, it's not that important for our kids to meet a life-mate of similar cultural-ethnic background. It's only our DNA. Who cares? Let's mix it up like salt and pepper. Sure, let's destroy everything our ancestors built. It's only our pesky, short lived heritage. What does it matter if our culture becomes a foot note in the pages of Islamic and Chinese history books? Listen to this Chinese philistine "artist" Weiwei. He really knows what he's talking about. He has a solid foundation in economics, and geo-politics. Wink wink ! - @Tuesday, March 27, 2018 7:46 PM

So many people lost in the ocean of lies of the internet... Supposed to come from rich countries with a high level of education, and yet believing these poorly made racist theories... They are completely illogical, hyperboles everywhere, not a single reliable source given. Hell let me give you one : I say 99% of left handed men are rapists ! Why ? It's in their nature ! Give me a source ? You're trying to cover the truth, you are with them, not with us. Tada... - @Sunday, March 11, 2018 4:23 PM

The transcript without the vandalism. "Being a refugee is much more than a political status - it is the most pervasive kind of cruelty that can be exercised against a human being. You are forcibly robbing this human being of all aspects that would make human life, not just tolerable, but meaningful in many ways. The more immune you are to people suffering, that's very, very dangerous. It's critical for us to maintain this humanity. If children grow up without any hope, without any prospects for the future, without any sense of them being able to make something out of their lives, then they will become very vulnerable to all sorts of exploitation including radicalization The officials came here and told them, "Look, there's no way you're going to get papers to continue. Either you go voluntarily or we arrest you." It's going to be a big challenge to recognize that the world is shrinking. People from different religions, different cultures, are going to have to learn to live with each other. - @Saturday, February 3, 2018 4:41 PM
