Plot Summary:The Rest (2018) is a documentary by Ai Weiwei about refugees, who have arrived in Europe, the world's bastion of human rights, but now live in limbo within a disintegrating humanitarian aid system.
More focused and specific than Human Flow, The Rest ventures from the Greece-Macedonia border to southern Italy and the Calais jungle, gathering testimony from those most directly caught up in the refugee crisis. Ai Weiwei remains behind the camera throughout, removing any distraction that his presence might have caused.
