Yann Arthus-Bertrand traveled to more than sixty countries and filmed thousands of people, then built this film from the interviews that resulted: close-up faces answering questions about love, war, poverty, family, and death. There is no narrator and almost no context given for who is speaking or where, just a name and a country appearing on screen before each person talks. A farmer in one country and a survivor of violence in another sit in the same visual space, given equal weight. Between the interviews, the film cuts to aerial footage shot from helicopters, sweeping over deserts, cities, and coastlines, images that pull back from the individual faces to show the scale of the planet those voices share. Subjects include a man describing the day he was released from prison, women recounting domestic abuse, and refugees describing displacement. The structure never argues a thesis; it accumulates testimony until the differences between the speakers start to matter less than what they have in common.
