(US, 2019) In the 1960’s, going to the moon captured humanity’s ambition and imagination. Now, more than fifty years later, the next great frontier that will define humanity - is inside ourselves.
Meet some of the first real-world "cyborgs" — a tetraplegic, a blind man, an artist with Parkinson’s - and the scientists and entrepreneurs on a quest to unlock the secrets of the brain. As the three subjects grapple with the unique opportunities of advanced brain technology, we’re forced to reconcile the larger implications. Will the same technologies that heal the sick enable super human abilities and new ways to communicate? From the research lab to the operating table, I AM HUMAN unpacks the emerging complexity and real world possibilities of humanity’s march down a new evolutionary path.
Directed by Elena Gaby and Taryn Southern.
Cast: Bryan Johnson, John Donaghue, Nita A. Farahany
