These three voices – People’s word, Earth’s testimonial et Music’s lyrism – act together to provide a single voice to our humanities.

THE VOICE OF PEOPLE
As an ode to humanity, HUMAN is a rare collection of stories, faces, and fates. Asylum seekers in Calais, freedom fighters in Ukraine, workers in Bangladesh, farmers in Mali, sentenced on the death row in the United States, Yann-Arthus Bertrand takes us into an immersive experience through human destiny. Through several witnesses who succeed one another and confide, the film director portrays a contrasted humanity. They invite us to open our hearts and encourage us to hear what separates us, to discover what gathers us and to finally understand that the Other is often a little bit of us. All the interviews of the movie were taken from encounters on a single image layout. The conversations evolve according to the stories, the confessions,… inspired by a canvas of questions identical for all. Working closely with the coordinators and local translators, journalists and cameramen have installed, for each volunteer, an intimate atmosphere in order to collect these precious and personal stories that are at the very heart of HUMAN.
THE VOICE OF EARTH
Through the aerial sequences, Yann Arthus-Bertrand shares his vision of the world and the people with the spectator and offers a poetic and critical insight of our planet. In HUMAN, the camera lens reveals places of an unsuspected beauty but also poses a careful look at the lives of men worldwide.
This uneven development of our societies is emerging on our lands and our landscapes, taking the aerial image as a witness. From our gatherings of joy to our forced wanderings, from the exaltation of our cities to the destruction of our villages, from the beauty of nature to its impoverishment … HUMAN creates an emotional link between mankind and the earth and addresses the question of our common future.
THE VOICE OF MUSIC
As a universal language, music transcends our emotions, sublimates the pictures and rhythmites the story. Almost indissociable from the image, it has always had an essential place in the work of Yann Arthus-Bertrand. Armand Amar’s compositions have emerged as an evidence to highlight the diversity and the richness of HUMAN’s purpose.
Through the prism of his creations, the composer magnifies the voices of mankind and Earth. Singers and musicians of the world gathered to create a musical landscape of a moving eclecticism. An immersion into the heart of humanity. Both self-taught, Armand Amar and Yann Arthus-Bertrand like to explore new artistic paths and improvise without constraints. They chose to turn these compositions into an artistic entity that grows and evolves in parallel and enters into symbiosis with the film.
