The Human Experience

"Plot: The story of a band of brothers who travel the world in search of the answers to the burning questions: Who am I? Who is Man? Why do we search for meaning? Their journey brings them into the middle of the lives of the homeless on the streets of New York City, the orphans and disabled children of Peru, and the abandoned lepers in the forests of Ghana, Africa. What the young men discover changes them forever. Through one on one interviews and real life encounters, the brothers are awakened to the beauty of the human person and the resilience of the human spirit."

If any of you ever get the chance to watch this wonderful movie, please do. It's very inspiring and I think it does a good job of grappling with the questions of life. It's available on Amazon for about 15 bucks. So worth it, everyone needs to see this movie.

The Human Experience (2008)

Lately, I've been doing a lot of thinking about where I plan on going in the future and who I am; and then I thought about this documentary, which a friend told me about some time ago. I am actually really pleased with this film. It is well shot, and emphasizes a point that I really wish more people would think about. My favorite part about this film is that it doesn't really try to convince you to go out and volunteer and help the less fortunate, but to really take a deep look at your life and assess what you have and who you are. Sure, it advocates that people should be more welcoming to each other, but it really just tells people to respect their own lives and value what they have and then that will help you become more open to others. The most powerful segment of this film was their experience in Ghana. I am always amazed when I see footage of the people of Africa and how accepting they are to each other and strangers. People always get the wrong impression of them, and that's always frustrating me. It has always been one of my biggest wishes to go to Africa and just be able to talk to these wonderful people, and see how they view life. I definitely recommend this film, it makes you think about how you view your own life.
