About the film

The Humanities are under attack.
In both Europe and the US Humanities programs are being shut down.
What purpose do the Humanities serve and why do they matter?
Director Shanti van Dam interviewed eight thinkers about these questions.

Join the conversation about the value of the Humanities via #valuehumanities.
