Our take
Driven by a profound empathy for the displaced, this continent-spanning documentary from renowned artist Ai Weiwei scales the scope of the global refugee crisis. Lending a radical intimacy to the faceless statistics seen in the media, Human Flow powerfully advocates for tolerance and understanding.
