Being Human offers a raw glimpse into the lives of students and teachers at a struggling Montreal secondary school. The documentary takes a step back from conventional narratives about education and drill down into personal stories, revealing the complexities of dropout rates and teacher burnout. The pacing feels organic, almost like you’re wandering through the hallways with the film crew, capturing candid moments that reflect real struggles and aspirations. It’s not just data and statistics; it’s about the messy human experience within an educational context. The lack of a polished, authoritative voice allows the subjects to speak for themselves, creating an atmosphere that’s both intense and reflective. A distinctive approach that feels more like an intimate observation than a traditional documentary.
