Human Flow Page #3

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

[speaking in Arabic]

Hold it. Hold on.

[baby whining]

[giggling]

Hey.

[laughing]

[motorcycle engine revving]

[singing in Arabic]

[wind gusting, rattling]

[squelching]

[grunts]

[groaning]

[speaking in Arabic]

[cheering]

[Chapuisat] Today, we're

here at the Ein al-Hilweh Camp,

which is one of the most

populated areas in the world.

In an area of 1 km,

there is approximately

100,000 different people living,

and as one knows the history

of the Palestinian people,

this camp has been here

for more than 60 years.

Generations of children

have grown up

within the walls of this camp.

[indistinct chatter]

[bus horn honking]

[Yahya] 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.

Young, particularly men

who are...

They're teenagers,

they're on their way

to adulthood,

many of them are traumatized

by unimaginable losses at home.

Uh...

They're angry,

they're frustrated,

they want to make a difference

in their...

in the lives

of their communities.

They have seen

their homes demolished,

they have seen

their families killed. Uh...

They are children who want...

they themselves want to go fight

because they think that this is

the way they can seek revenge

or get revenge for the horrors

that they have lived through.

[beep]

[Joumblatt] Without memory,

you are nothing,

memory is part of your history

and history is part...

Part of your geography.

Where can the Syrians go?

Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Europe.

So now, they are helping us,

they want us

to keep these refugees.

Okay, we will keep them.

They want to give us money

so we have to profit out of this

money, to educate the Syrians,

to make them work so one day

they might come back.

But now they

are pouring money in Jordan,

in Lebanon, in Turkey.

They don't want to hear anymore

about refugees.

That's their new policy now.

It's quite a hypocritical

policy, but...

I was terribly violent

along time ago,

I was a feudal, I was a warlord

along time ago.

Lebanon is small, with...

It's a country

of 18 communities,

Christians and Muslims.

So we have to preserve it,

and not to think about the past.

See the future.

And to forget about old,

about our old hatred.

Because somewhere

in our subconscious,

we hate each other.

We have to, at any price,

compromise.

Dialog is important in life.

Much more important

than anything.

In this new world of total

uncertainty, nobody knows,

I don't think somebody knows

where this world is going on.
