The topic of Human Flow is not something that will give you a good feeling after watching this documentary. Massive human migration caused by wars and persecutions it's something that exists since the dawn of time but with the always increasing overpopulation of our planet it now becomes a real problem as some countries just can't handle such massive numbers of refugees. This documentary is heartbreaking and should be shown to all the right extremists in the world, so that their narrow brain maybe could understand that those people fled their country by necessity, and not to take your job or whatsoever. Most of them if not all of them would prefer staying in their countries if it was not bombed to shreds. The documentary is very well shot, with interesting angles and different stories, mostly sad as the situation is just desperate. I don't see a bright future for the next generation, overpopulation and mass migrations will cause the downfall of mother earth. Director Weiwei Ai did a good job with his documentary but I'm afraid that it won't make much difference. Big up to all the people that try to help others and this daily.

Plot summary
Over 65 million people around the world have been forced from their homes to escape famine, climate change and war in the greatest human displacement since World War II. Human Flow, an epic film journey led by the internationally renowned artist Ai Weiwei, gives a powerful visual expression to this massive human migration. The documentary elucidates both the staggering scale of the refugee crisis and its profoundly personal human impact. Captured over the course of an eventful year in 23 countries, the film follows a chain of urgent human stories that stretches across the globe in countries including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, France, Greece, Germany, Iraq, Israel, Italy, Kenya, Mexico, and Turkey. Human Flow is a witness to its subjects and their desperate search for safety, shelter and justice: from teeming refugee camps to perilous ocean crossings to barbed-wire borders; from dislocation and disillusionment to courage, endurance and adaptation; from the haunting lure of lives left behind to the unknown potential of the future. Human Flow comes at a crucial time when tolerance, compassion and trust are needed more than ever. This visceral work of cinema is a testament to the unassailable human spirit and poses one of the questions that will define this century: Will our global society emerge from fear, isolation, and self-interest and choose a path of openness, freedom, and respect for humanity?

Not much hope for the future.
Watch it anyway.
The film is way too long and indulgent of the director's need to insert himself. But the message is far too important to ignore. Watch it anyway.
If you are European....
If you are European like me, this film will open your eyes on the migration events that you read on the news everyday. Europe has missed to create a right way to approach these migrations and now is panicking. I don't see a bright future for it. Great film, that gives you a large overview that many other films are unable to give.
