human flow
a film (fall 2017) by Ai Weiwei
being a refugee is much more than a political status.. it is the most pervasive kind of cruelty that can be exercised against a human being.. you are forcibly robing this human being of all aspects that would make human life not just tolerable but meaningful in many ways
the more immune you are to people’s suffering.. that’s very very dangerous..t
it’s critical for us to maintain this humanity
over 65 million in world today have been forcibly displaced from their homes
if children grow up w/o any hope/prospect for the future.. w/o 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
of the millions.. this is filmed across 23 countries
it’s going to be a big challenge to recognize that the world is shrinking.. and people from diff religions/cultures are going to have to learn to live with each other

Is it the remorseless evidence of personal disengagement, the sheer scale of inhumanity, or the beautiful telling of an awful story which makes @aiww’s #HumanFlow so awful to watch? Maybe we’re being shown there’s really no excuse for not getting on with helping each other? (http://twitter.com/nadimsadek/status/949221139762606080?s=17)
