Tuul river, Mongolia

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. The river Tuul flows for more than 700 kilometers through central and northern Mongolia. This sacred river for the Mongols passes to the south of the capital, Ulaanbaatar. The exploitation of mineral resources has driven rapid growth in Mongolia, which exports coal, gold and copper to neighboring China. In a few years, the country has become more urban and now, more than two-thirds of Mongols live in towns.
