“Human Flow” is a powerful and moving documentary that takes viewers on a journey around the world to meet the 65 million people who have been forced to flee their homes. The film follows refugees from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Syria, and Mexico as they make dangerous and often deadly journeys to safety.

The film is a stark reminder of the human cost of war, persecution, and climate change. We see the faces of the refugees, hear their stories, and feel their pain. But “Human Flow” is not just a film about suffering; it is also a film about hope. We see the resilience of the human spirit, the strength of families, and the power of community.

The film is directed by Ai Weiwei, the Chinese dissident artist and filmmaker. Weiwei has used his platform to speak out against human rights abuses around the world, and “Human Flow” is no exception. The film is a powerful indictment of the governments and institutions that have failed to protect refugees.

“Human Flow” is a must-see film for anyone who cares about the human condition. It is a film that will stay with you long after the credits roll.

Here are some specific points that I would mention in a review of the film:

• The cinematography is stunning. Weiwei uses drones and other cutting-edge technology to capture the vast scale of the refugee crisis.
• The soundtrack is moving and evocative. The score by Ryuichi Sakamoto is both beautiful and heartbreaking.
• The film is well-paced and never feels preachy. Weiwei lets the images and the stories of the refugees speak for themselves.
• The film is a call to action. Weiwei urges viewers to get involved in the fight for refugee rights.

We rate “Human Flow” as a 5 out of 5 stars. It is an essential film that everyone should see.

As Turkey’s English-language broadcaster our mission is to commission and co-produce world-class documentaries that entertain and engage, encourage debate and serve as a catalyst for change.

Our documentaries are a pivotal part of the channel’s roles in helping our viewers make sense of an increasingly complex world. We aim to evoke a response: a reaction, a transformation of perspective, a greater understanding of the most pressing issues and stories of our time.

We’re a news channel so we’re looking for stories that are topical, timely and relevant – particularly to Turkey and the Middle East. We encourage proposals which counter mainstream narratives and stories that reveal new perspectives on the Muslim world. Please note we’re not after historical docs, natural history or lifestyle programs.

Good journalism is behind everything that we do. Factual accuracy, balance and fairness are cornerstones of every story we tell.

Strands

Impact: From migration and poverty to women’s rights, climate change to modern day slavery, we’re looking for stories that address a fundamental challenge facing the world today. We don’t just want to see problems – we want to meet passionate, inspirational characters seeking and implementing solutions.

Investigative Specials: We’re looking for stories that generate headlines and challenge the establishment status quo. Stories must uncover hidden worlds of corruption, illegal trade, or abuses of power. Rigorous journalism, exceptional access to key players and a significant reveal are key.

Embedded Factual: Can you take us inside the world’s largest slum, a hospital ER or the toughest prison on the planet? We’re looking for intimate observational documentary series powered by engaging characters and dramatic stories unfolding in a single location or institution.

Travel with Edge: We’re looking for a presenter-led travel series – but not travelogue. Presenters must have a unique way of seeing the world and the skill to open a doorway to a country’s culture, politics and people.

Blue Chip: Pitch us an idea that will showcase Turkey to the world. Reveal how a megacity like Istanbul ticks, capture the country’s incredible people and culture in a unique new way. Pretty pictures aren’t enough. We want characters and stories which reveal the spirit of the nation.

Feature Docs: Do you have a passion project with a unique voice and vision that says something important about the world today? Knock us out with the story only you can tell. We’ll fully commission the very best ideas and can co-fund projects already underway.
