What is it that makes us human?

During my vacation I watched this documentary: HUMAN by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, a french phtographer. I really love this movie, trought the eyes, the voice and the story of many people we can understand the world. We can can also appreciate a little thing in our daily life, like the smile of a stranger when you meet him in the street. It's really a moving documentary, it's can be a little ridiculous or crazy but because of this film I cut my hair.

So 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.

"I am one man among seven billion others. For the past 40 years, I have been photographing our planet and its human diversity, and I have the feeling that humanity is not making any progress. We can’t always manage to live together.

Why is that?

I didn’t look for an answer in statistics or analysis, but in man himself."

Yann Arthus-Bertrand

Yann Arthus-Bertrand is a photographer and renowned specialist in aerial imagery. He has written several books, including “The Earth from the Air”, which has been translated into 24 languages and has sold more than three million copies.

In 2009, he made his first film, “Home”. This inventory of the planet was seen by more than 600 million people around the world. Available for free from YouTube, it is continuing its career. It is the most successful environmental film of the decade.

“7 Billion Others”, a portrait of humanity today, has so far been seen by 350 million people. This major exhibition that was inaugurated at the Grand Palais in Paris in 2009, before going on to travel the world, is a personal reflection developed over the space of 30 years.

It was the first step on the path that led Yann Arthus-Bertrand to make “HUMAN”.

Yann Arthus-Bertrand is also known for his commitment to the ecological battle. For five years, he hosted the famous show “Vu du Ciel” which explored environmental issues for the public broadcaster, francetélévisions.

This french photographer is one of my favourite photographer. I really love is picture, because he shows to us a world who are in the same time ugly and gorgeous. But the manner he takes is picture is very important because he always show the good side of this world even if sometimes he's hideous.
