Human is a film the world needs: the Koyaanisqatsi of our generation. The highly-anticipated follow-up to Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s 'Home' (viewed by more than 600 million people), this new documentary – with its stunning aerial landscapes and images of people from all walks of life – explores the harsh and beautiful truths of Humanity on this planet. It is a hymn to human connections and the fragility of life on Earth as well as a cri de coeur for tolerance and compassion throughout the world, narrated through testimony from poverty-stricken peasants, refugees, death-row inmates and more – by turns thought-provoking, shocking, heart-breaking and inspiring.

Such a powerful subject needs a score that expresses the emotional core of the film. Director and cinematographer Arthus-Bertrand chose long-time collaborator Armand Amar, composer of the 'Home' soundtrack, to voice the vast ideas of Human in the truly universal language of music. The epic, minimalist orchestral strings, exotic percussion and singers and instrumentalists drawn together from diverse ethnic and musical backgrounds are inseparable from the film’s unforgettable images.

Amar says he composed the score as “a global vision, a universe in osmosis with the film…The music I composed for the images of Mongolia in particular summarise the universe I wanted to evoke in this film. Traditional music from around the world fascinate me endlessly, they touch me, they have a direct link with emotion. For Human, my idea was to create a resonance between the interviews and the songs or chants expressing the same emotion. I wanted hearts to open up to this music, I wanted sadness to open up and for nothing to be held back. Human was one of the rare opportunities in my life as a film composer in which I could explore all these different cultures united from afar.”
