In today’s episode, we’ll explore Chinese Artist Ai Weiwei’s 2017 documentary, HUMAN FLOW. Ai Weiwei is one of China’s most acclaimed artist, an international cultural influencer, an activist, filmaker, curator and architect.

In Human Flow, Ai Weiwei works to capture the depth and enormity of the largest displacement of humans since the end of world war II. More than 65 million people around the world have fled their homes as a result of war, famine, and climate change. In just over one year of filming, Ai Weiwei takes us to 23 countries, including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, France, Greece, Germany, Iraq, Israel, Italy, Kenya, Mexico, Turkey and the United States. Ai Weiwei introduces us to the most desperate of people, and brings a keen focus to a reality that is mostly lost when added to the ever changing news cycle.

We’ll briefly explore themes around human connectedness, compassion, and the sovereignty of the individual.
