What Does It Mean To Be Human
|
| The song "All We Do" seemingly floats through this short film that asks and answers the question: what does it mean to be human? Providing hope and inspiration, the answers include a recognition that being human is difficult; it means being aware of and accepting of ourselves and others, recognizing our potential, not giving up when we fail, knowing that we are not alone. To be human means all of this and much more. The words of the song, “All we do is hide away” contrast markedly with the words and images of the people interviewed, who meet us openly and honestly, showing us the very best of what it means to be human. |

When Dr. U.S. Vishal Rao, a Bengaluru-based oncologist, saw how many stage four throat cancer patients struggled to afford expensive imported voice prosthesis to be able to speak again, he decided to do something about it.
