May 5 Humans Flow

Human Flow is artists Ai Weiwei's cinematic examination of refugees across the world. It is no means exhaustive.

While Weiwei is a huge artist, his smashing pots work has been seen at the Museum of Contemporary Craft and his Zodiac Heads at the Portland Art Museum. A Zodiac Heads show is currently at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum in Eugene. The Portland Art Museum hosted the Ai WeiWei Never Sorry filmmaker previously.

For this film he traveled with refugees, employed documentary moviemakers and solicited comments forming the soundtrack from thinkers on refugees in today's world. It's a documentary made by an artist informing social conscience.
