Dan Wiseman Explains The Film
"Do the right thing, everyone do the right thing and then the world will change" Shifu Yanzi - Shaolin Monk
Naabil Kahn - Medical Student
'Us' is an ambitious documentary film
Seeking to explore our shared humanity by asking people from all walks of life to share their vision for the world they want to create. 'Us' aims to inspire dialogue, understanding, and collaboration to build a better future for everyone.
Told through candid interviews
Asking people from all faiths and socioeconomic backgrounds - the homeless the CEO’s, the key workers, politicians, celebrities, teachers, inmates, judges - Each participant responds to the same core questions.
Participation of High-Profile Figures and Celebrities:
The involvement of high-profile figures and celebrities in 'Us' will help elevate the film's message and inspire a broader audience to engage with its themes. By lending their voices to the project, these individuals will not only contribute to the film's impact but also demonstrate their commitment to fostering unity and understanding among people from all walks of life.
Why This Film Matters
In an increasingly divided world, 'Us' serves as a powerful reminder that we all share a common bond as human beings. By showcasing our shared hopes and dreams, the film aspires to create visual census of human aspiration.
The Questions
What do you do to survive?
Do you believe in a spiritual existence?
What drives you to keep going, what are you passionate about?
How would you like the world to be, if you could change it to your imagining?
How do you think we can achieve that world?
Driven by these open-hearted conversations, the film seeks to reveal any common desires that unite ‘Us’ - Is there a commonality in human desire? Do we all essentially want the same things in life? If not,
how do socioeconomic factors drive any
potentially conflicting narratives? Is there a shared yearning for connection, meaning, or justice among people everywhere and how do socioeconomic factors drive any conflicting narratives and visions for the future?
The project stands as a crucial, timely inquiry—asking what binds us together, what divides us, and what kind of world we dare to imagine at a crucial juncture in the timeline of human existence.
The world is dominated by
extremes of socioeconomic disparity, war and environmental destruction.
With so much at stake, it seems vital to gauge if there’s a consensus as to what kind of world we could
create and if a collective vision seems apparent, what systemic, universal changes are required to achieve it?
