Today, the post is short. In fact, the focus today is just to recommend a very cool documentary that will appeal to all people who are (as well as I am) interested in the richness of cultural differences and also by the things that unite us all, humans. Empathy is a buzzword nowadays and it is, undoubtedly, a much needed skill to navigate the current challenges of our planet. I truly believe that besides concepts and academic theories on the topic, it is art a great source of learning and inspiration for us to live a richer and more harmonic life.

Human, the movie, launched in September 2015, is a collection of stories and images that translate ‘what it means to be human’. The stories are of common people. Stories of love, hate, despair and also of hope. Stories that show our dark side and what is most noble in us. Above everything, the movie talks about the things that are universal and it lead us to reflect about ourselves and the world we live in.

The movie was produced in a period of 3 years and more than 2,000 people in 60 countries were interviewed.  There are 3 ‘volumes’ or 3 collections of interviews and each volume lasts for about 1 hour. All of them are available (for free) in YouTube. The link follows below.
