Description: Winner of four "Best Feature" awards following its premiere at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival, I AM HUMAN chronicles the emotional journeys of three real-world pioneers with implantable brain interfaces - a paraplegic, blind retiree, and an artist struggling with Parkinson’s - and the scientists and entrepreneurs on the frontlines of pressing technical and ethical quandaries. Will the same technology that cures disease lead to super human abilities, telepathic communication, and cognitive enhancement? From the research lab to the operating table, I AM HUMAN follows humanity’s march down a new evolutionary path, unpacking the emerging complexity and real world possibilities of a technology that challenges the very essence of what it means to be human.
