This is a very beautiful movie. This is the synopsis:

SYNOPSIS
HUMAN is a collection of stories about and images of our world, offering an immersion to the core of what it means to be human. Through these stories full of love and happiness, as well as hatred and violence, HUMAN brings us face to face with the Other, making us reflect on our lives. From stories of everyday experiences to accounts of the most unbelievable lives, these poignant encounters share a rare sincerity and underline who we are – our darker side, but also what is most noble in us, and what is universal. Our Earth is shown at its most sublime through never-before-seen aerial images accompanied by soaring music, resulting in an ode to the beauty of the world, providing a moment to draw breath and for introspection.

HUMAN is a politically engaged work which allows us to embrace the human condition and to reflect on the meaning of our existence.

I am familiar with Yann Arthus-Bertrand's work, as a few years back there was an installation of his Earth from Above project in the streets of the old town where I lived in Cyprus. Everyday I would walk by and look at the amazing images from around the world, read the little text about where each image was taken, and sort of "travel" through them.

I watched the first video of the 3-part series on youtube, and I checked, it comes out on DVD in October, I'll order it then.

I found it very sad, infuriating and funny at points. Anything that gives some understanding into how other people around the world, different from me in so many ways yet alike in others, live their lives, think and feel (even if limited in the subjects presented) is to me a worthwhile experience. So thank you loreta, for sharing this. I don't know what Nietzsche had in mind, or what his book is about with the same title, but watching last night I kept thinking, "human, all too human" for some reason.

Thanks to you to give some more information. I really love the first part of this long movie, I felt connected in a sort of way, I really love to listen to people, to see their visages, their expressions, their ideas... It is like to be in a long conversation with them. You listen to them and listening you are listening to something inside you... Maybe this movie is like a book, with many stories, many characters, many ideas and travels and roads. It is very beautiful to see all this. And the pictures and scenery of this movie are exceptional. I think the second part is about war...
 
I watched it recently too, and it had pretty depressing effect on me. It also made me appreciate what I have.

there is another documentary by the same author called Home.

After watching these 2 documentaries, more then ever I am convinced that humanity ( at least as it is at present moment) is ripe to be wiped out from the face of the planet.
 
Thanks Loreta: Watching and listening to these people talking about their lives touched my heart in many ways.

Bittersweet.

I watched the first two volumes of this documentary. It was beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. Oh, what a world we would have without psychopaths.
