"Just when we need it, Humans reminds us what it means to be human . . . one of the most influential art projects of the decade.” —Washington Post

Read this to understand the frailty and common ground we share as humans. Ask yourself, Whats your greatest struggle or what keeps you going in life, and explore the answers these humans have offered. Off the top of my head, my favorites were: -the playground construction man -the nurse who marries her patient -the man who was abandoned by his dad and escaped the abusive home -the mothers, brothers, uncles and kids who explain love, triumph and harmony in their unique words Compare and contrast peoples perceptions around the world on common themes.
