The Human Experience, 2008, Documentary
Plot: Two brothers travel the world to see life through the eyes of people who are considered outcasts and underrepresented.
Thoughts: I can see and appreciate how this movie could have won best documentary in many award ceremonies, but I really didn’t enjoy as much as I thought I would. I liked how the brothers gave themselves up to understand people that rarely see interaction with another person. They talked and lived with the homeless in New York, cared for and played with physically disabled children in Peru, and also fellowshipped and spent time with a leper colony in Ghana.
I appreciate the seriousness with which they took their task. Most would have given up in New York, but these two young men sincerely wanted to understand and see that people aren’t numbers or percentages but individuals who share a common experience with us all.
