Human Flow

“Refugees must be seen to be an essential part of our shared humanity” – Ai Weiwei

Human Flow has been screened in select theatres around the world, and now UNHCR’s Office in Cyprus brings the film to Cypriot audiences for its premiere one-night-only screening in Nicosia.

In this epic documentary, world-renowned contemporary artist Ai Weiwei, who himself grew up as a refugee, takes us across 23 countries to witness the global journeys of millions of men, women and children who are forced to flee their homes. “I’m eager to understand what is really happening…We are one. Humanity is one,” said the artist.

“Ai’s new film, Human Flow…is an urgent, deep soak in the current refugee crisis [and] comes closest to understanding the totality of the issue,” says Jordan Hoffman of The Guardian, dubbing it “A visual tone poem that proves both epic and highly human.”

Entrance to the screening, which will be held at The Pantheon Theatre, is free.

The film will be screened in English, with Greek subtitles.

More than 65 million people around the world have been forced from their homes to escape famine, climate change and war, the greatest displacement since World War II. Filmmaker Ai Weiwei examines the staggering scale of the refugee crisis and its profoundly personal human impact. Over the course of one year in 23 countries, Weiwei follows a chain of urgent human stories that stretch across the globe, including Afghanistan, France, Greece, Germany and Iraq.
