People from all over the world tell their own lives to a camera against a black background: love, poverty, war, forgiveness, death. Aerial landscape footage is cut between them. The documentary argues no thesis; the narrative sets faces and voices side by side and leaves the connection to the viewer. The interviews are shot identically: the same background, the same framing, the same distance. Yann Arthus-Bertrand directed. It was filmed in many countries and languages. Before watching: versions of different lengths circulate and some run for hours. The accounts also include rape, torture and testimony from wars.
