  Directed by:  Jason van Genderen I felt sad, empathy, pause and reflect on life when watching the film. It didn't aim to entertain, but to notice the reality of life.  The film captured me right away. It didn’t build a story in the usual way; it revealed one through street signs and everyday imagery to tell the story without spoken dialogue, making me curious from the start. Mankind is no island is a film that uses street signs to piece together a gentle message. It walks through city streets and slowly makes a simple truth about  human dignity in urban life,  which is hard to ignore .
