Human Flow (2017 ) - Ai Weiwei

Tackling the migrant crisis across the globe from a deeply humanistic perspective, Ai Weiwei's Human Flow is an empathetic, idealistic plea to humanity and civilization for a more empathetic perspective on the value of human life.  Delivering a pretty convincing argument against nation states, Human Flow showcases the rigid, restrictive nature which governmental sanctioned borders have against the individual, an invisible division created by a coercive force, the government, which normalizes mistreatment of human-beings under the guise of citizenship.  Intent on showing these migrants as individuals first and foremost, Human Flow as a documentary reveals how nationalistic designation is often  unimportant or insignificant, revealing how politics and government itself often distort an individuals primal desires towards having a general sense of empathy and value for their fellow common man.
