In the documentary I Am Human, filmmakers Taryn Southern and Elena Gaby follow three subjects whose brains are linked to machines, making them the world's first human cyborgs.
For the three subjects of the documentary I Am Human, technology is more than a convenience, it’s part of who they are — literally. Ahead of our monthly Through the Lens screening, filmmakers Taryn Southern and Elena Gaby explain how they captured the stories of a paraplegic, a blind man and a woman with Parkinson’s whose brains are linked to machines, allowing them to operate beyond their disabilities and making them the world's first human cyborgs.
