Human Flow, a film directed by Ai Weiwei -OPENING FILM 
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 behind to the unknown
potential of the future. Human Flow comes at a crucial time when tolerance,
compassion and trust are needed more than ever. This visceral work of cinema is
a testament to the unassailable human spirit and poses one of the questions
that will define this century: Will our global society emerge from fear,
isolation, and self-interest and choose a path of openness, freedom, and
respect for humanity?
