Film: K4 - Who we were
A film by Marc Bader, Germany 2020, 114min
A cinematic essay inspired by the book "Who we were" by Roger Willemsen with Alexander Gerst (astronaut), Sylvia Earle (deep-sea explorer), Mathieu Ricard (Buddhist monk), Dennis Snower (economist), Felwine Sarr (philosopher) and Janina Loh (critical posthumanist). We may think that we are simply incapable of understanding the increasingly complex problems facing our planet, but for these charismatic scientists, that is not enough. Whether on top of the world, in the depths of the ocean, in the human brain, at the G-20 summit or on the International Space Station (ISS), they are looking for practical ways to save our world. In light of their drive, we must ask ourselves if we, as citizens of the planet, are finally ready to take responsibility – be it only for those who come after us and ask: "Who were we?"
