Human Flow Page #2

Synopsis: 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 beh

Get up. Get up.

[officer yelling in Italian]

[Ashrawi] 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

by depriving the person

of all forms of security,

the most basic requirements

of a normal life...

By cruelly placing that person

at the mercy sometimes

of very un-or inhospitable

host countries

that do not want

to receive this refugee.

You are forcibly robbing

this human being of all aspects

that would make human life

not just tolerable

but meaningful in many ways.

The officials came here

and told them,

So, you're going to be deported.

"Either you go voluntarily

or we arrest you."

And yesterday,

it started with...

police coming here

and actively arresting people.

[Ott] They are very afraid

of being brought back.

I mean, there is a reason

Why these people are here.

- [whispers] Sorry.
