Full Plot Details

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?

Movie Reviews

CineVue - 10/10 by Maximilian Von ThunAi Weiwei might be best known for his sculptures and installations, but with Human Flow he has created a masterpiece that truly captures the humanity at the heart of the global refugee crisis.
Thrillist - 10/10 by Thrillist Entertainment StaffIn beautiful visual language, Ai Weiwei conveys the stark horror and brutalist logic of the choices people make when stuck between a rock and a hard place -- or a war and abject poverty.
RogerEbert.com - 10/10 by Matt FagerholmThough Donald Trump is never mentioned by name in all 140 minutes of Ai Weiwei’s new documentary, Human Flow, the picture is, quite simply, the most monumental cinematic middle finger aimed at his scandal-laden administration to date.
Village Voice - 10/10 by Alan ScherstuhlYou’re right not to trust a film critic who calls a movie “stunning.” But let me say this about Human Flow, the epic new documentary surveying the scope of the global refugee crisis, from Chinese artist-activist Ai Weiwei: It stunned me, in the truest sense of the word.
Film Journal International - 10/10 by Chris BarsantiHuman Flow is possibly the most visually resplendent piece of nonfiction cinema you will see this year.
Kaplan vs. Kaplan - 10/10 by Jeanne Kaplan"Human Flow" definitely provides the vehicle to promote the conversation regarding this growing crisis.
FF2 Media - 10/10 by Amelie LaskerThe camera in Human Flow lingers on people as they walk, hold their young children, tell their stories, and often cry, and it becomes incredibly difficult for the audience not to address their reactions to it.
Cineuropa - 10/10 by Kaleem AftabHuman Flow is a remarkable film, vast in scope, but pondering the nature of humanity in a world of vast movement and change.
One Guy's Opinion - 9/10 by Frank SwietekSometimes too beautiful for its subject...but Ai Weiwei's artistry doesn't obscure the size or urgency of the problem on which he focuses...the great human tragedy of our time.
Seattle Weekly - 9/10 by Robert HortonWatching the film is like seeing a portrait of the human soul as it is being systematically reduced in size -- not the soul of the international refugee, but everybody's collective soul.
