Iconic Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei will live-stream a Q&A session following a free screenings of “Human Flow,” a documentary film about the global refugee crisis that he directed, at 2 p.m. Sunday, April 29 at the Lynwood Theatre.

The film begins at 11:30 a.m.

“Human Flow” is a sprawling exploration of the global refugee crisis. Captured over the span of one year, in 23 different countries, the film follows a chain of urgent stories that stretches through Afghanistan, Greece, Iraq, Kenya, Mexico, Turkey and beyond.

The subjects of “Human Flow” undertake a desperate search for safety, shelter and justice: from teeming refugee camps to perilous ocean crossings to barbed-wire borders; from dislocation and disillusionment to courage, endurance and adaptation; from the haunting lure of lives left behind to the unknown potential of the future.

From Wikipedia: “Ai Weiwei is a Chinese contemporary artist and activist … [He] collaborated with Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron as the artistic consultant on the Beijing National Stadium for the 2008 Olympics. As a political activist, he has been highly and openly critical of the Chinese Government’s stance on democracy and human rights. He has investigated government corruption and cover-ups, in particular the Sichuan schools corruption scandal following the collapse of so-called ‘tofu-dreg schools’ in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. In 2011, following his arrest at Beijing Capital International Airport on 3 April, he was held for 81 days without any official charges being filed; officials alluded to their allegations of ‘economic crimes.’”
