what makes us human

I could post these all day! You can check out the film in full on youtube (all 3 hours!) but I recommend going to see a version on the big screen. It's incredible and you can see it for free. The sheer indivisible weight of experience in the stories told by people from across the world have left me feeling connected and inspired to do more in my little corner of this planet. It's also interspersed with some breathtaking landscapes to remind us, If we've forgotten, about the importance of the land. And, in my interpretation, how much peoples freedom is tied to it.
Oohhh and the movement! Movement most definitely matters.
