In the course of making Human Flow, his epic feature documentary about the global refugee crisis, the artist Ai Weiwei and his collaborators interviewed more than 600 refugees, aid workers, politicians, activists, doctors, and local authorities in twenty-three countries around the world.

"Provides a powerful, personal, and moving account of the most urgent humanitarian crisis of our time." ---Eleni Sakellis, National Herald

"A gift for those who care deeply about their fellow humans, or a needed wake-up call for those who could learn a little empathy, Ai Weiwei’s book Human Flow brings to light the stories of those on the front lines of the global refugee crisis . . . [T]his book is able to give voice to many . . . featuring 100 first-person accounts alongside Weiwei’s photographs." ---Shannon Connellan, Mashable

"Providing descriptions of the difficulties from many perspectives of the refugee situation and perspectives on how it might be dealt with, [ Human Flow ] is a powerful resource about a critical humanitarian issue. . .Highly recommended."

"A remarkable dossier. . . . Human Flow needs to be read now." ---Jeremy Adelman, Public Books
