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. (forgalmazó hivatalos szövege)

Probably one of the most visually and thematically compelling documentaries I've had the opportunity to see so far. It consists of perfectly and contrastingly composed shots of masses of people and pristine nature, complemented by intimate snapshots of individuals who share with us bits and pieces of their lives and their views of the world. The contrast beautifully underlines the fact that each person has their own story, but also that we are basically not so different from one another. It doesn't matter the country we live in, the colour of our skin, our gender or our age, sooner or later we all ask ourselves the same fundamental questions. Love, wealth, family, time, meaning and death may mean different things to each person, but in the end we are all members of the same species: we are human beings facing the same fate. The path can, however, be radically different. Someone has a cheerful life, someone is filled with pain, someone lives in poverty, someone fights for life every day, someone lives in luxury, and that makes us all different. Whenever I’m bothered by some stupid thing or overwhelmed by gloom, I'll try to remember the people who are happy just to have something to eat and a place to sleep that day. This is a documentary full of contrasts that makes us think a bit, and I like that.
