More about the film WHO WE WERE (dir. Marc Bauder, Germany, 2021, 114 min., original language with Lithuanian subtitles)
"We were the ones who knew but didn't understand, we had a lot of information but lacked insight, we were full of knowledge but lacked experience. So we just kept moving forward, without stopping or limiting ourselves, unstoppable by ourselves."
— Roger Willemsen
How will we appear to future generations in historical context – will they look at us with despair? Filmmaker Marc Bauder explores the state of the world with renowned intellectuals and scientists who reflect on Earth’s present and make assumptions about the planet’s future. Together, they explore the incredible potential of the human brain, the global economic summit, the legacy of colonization and the feelings of a robot. This inspiring look at the world offers a hopeful message for us all: who we are depends on ourselves and whether we recognize our interconnectedness, our commonality and the meaning of the word “we”.
This film is a transformative encounter with six important contemporary scientists and thinkers: astronaut Alexander Gerst, economist Denis Snower, molecular biologist and monk Mathieu Ricard, oceanologist Sylvia Earle, economist, sociologist and philosopher Felwine Sarr, and posthumanist philosopher Janina Loh.
