Human Flow (2017, 2h20)

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 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. Human Flow 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?

Laziz (2016, 14m)

In May 2016, Ai Weiwei and his team travelled to Gaza during the filming of Human Flow (2017) and visited the Khan Yunis zoo, rated “the world’s worst zoo” by animal welfare groups. At the time, only 15 starved and neglected animals remained. Laziz, a ten-year-old male Bengal tiger, was the last tiger in the Gaza strip. Laziz was eventually relocated to an animal sanctuary in South Africa, due to the efforts of Four Paws International.
