| Affiliation: | Directed by Chinese artist and activist AI WEIWEI, Human Flow—a documentary filmed in 23 different countries—depicts the largest human displacement since World War II. Behind the refugee crisis, we see a crisis of humanity. Ai's message is that if tolerance and compassion continue to give way to isolationism and xenophobia, “humanity will face an even bigger crisis,” as he puts it. Kathleen Miles interviewed Ai for NPQ at the Human Flow premiere at the 74th International Venice Film Festival in Italy, which for the past several years has been an entry point to Europe for hundreds of thousands of migrants and refugees streaming across the Mediterranean Sea from North Africa. |
