Direct from competition at Venice Film Festival comes one of the most anticipated documentaries of recent times. Chinese filmmaker, artist and dissident Ai Wei Wei brings us a report on the massive scale and complexity of what’s commonly known as the world’s refugee crisis. But Ai sees it differently. “There is no refugee crisis, only a human crisis,” he has said. Filmed over the course of a year in 23 countries including Afghanistan, Human Flow demands to be seen and discussed.

“The most necessary and comprehensive documentary to date about our planet’s current refugee crisis” -Indiwire.
