During the past few nights, I watched a three-part documentary movie series called “Human.” An account of the origin of the film is above, and the three parts are below.
It consists of a series of interviews of people from all over the world about love, war, work, marriage, parenthood, poverty, migration, being gay, being handicapped, the nature of happiness and the meaning of life, plus remarkable aerial photographs of human activity.
It reminded me of the benediction we used to give in my church, which included the words, “behind all our differences and beneath all our diversity, there is a unity that makes us one.”
Each part is about 90 minutes, which is a long time to watch something on a computer screen. But it is broken up into segments of 15 or 20 minutes, so you don’t have to watch it all at once.
If you watch it, you should use the CC (closed caption) feature, which will tell you the first name of the person being interviewed and the location of the interview or scene.
The film series was made by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, a French environmentalist, photographer, journalist and filmmaker. He and his 20-person team interviewed 2020 people, in 60-some countries and speaking 63 languages, over a period of three years.
The movie premiered in France on Sept. 12, 2015, as a single stand-alone film, which was later expanded into a three-part series.
