Human: The Movie - What is it that makes us human? Is there unity in our diversity? Is it possible to come together to solve our humanity's problems? Driven by such questions, filmmaker and artist Yann Arthus-Bertrand spent three years collecting real-life stories from 2,000 women and men in 60 countries. Each interviewee was asked the same simple, yet essential questions. “What was the toughest trial you had to face, and what did you learn from it?” was 1 of the 40 standard questions.

Compelling, honest, tragic, beautiful, and sometimes disturbing, this amazing conversation covers a vast arena of human life experience and attitude.
