Review of Human Flow (2017) by Proteus — 23 Jul 2018
The movie provides one half of relevant information on the subject. The other half starts with famine and war being at all time lows in human history and displacement or migration or movement of peoples not only all time lows but the most natural part of human history of all. The movie says under 10% of people have been displaced. For 99% of human history humans were nomads. There were no nations states or cities. Humans thrived and became the dominant species on earth. Movement and migration is in our DNA.
Plague, famine and war were the biggest threats to life for millennia upon millennia. Not any more. Far more people die of obesity than famine. Cancer than war. Car accidents than plague. Keep your skeptical hat on when watching movies like this. They invariably provide only one side of an issue.
