Still Human is an insightful documentary, visually stunning with a gripping storyline.
Through expertly crafted editing, the documentary contrasts the issues of poverty in two of the worlds largest cities- Los Angeles and Mumbai. Rich graphics and moving interviews give viewers a real sense of the very different ways in which poverty is experienced on opposite sides of the world. The documentary contains captivating footage of the cities, but becomes even more powerful when it uses personal stories to demonstrate how corruption, greed and even the lack of apathy can create an environment of dysfunction and inequality.
The documentary by David Albert Habif does an excellent job of illustrating the many ways poverty manifests itself both in first and third world countries. By contrasting the two large cities, He highlights their mutual pain points, makin it clear that poverty, oppression and inequality are global issues.
There is no one solution that can adequately address the homelessness situation in Los Angeles, or any other city or location. Individually, it needs to be addressed one by one. Homelessness caused by poverty is an issue addressed by the doc, and we are shown how people respond to it in those countries( USA & India).
Habif poignantly captures the realities of the grinding poverty many Americans face on a daily basis and provides a necessary reminder of the injustices and inequalities still present in our society.
Still Human is visually stunning and impactful, truly an affecting and powerful documentary, its a must watch for anyone interested in humanity.
