Plot

Meet the world's first 'cyborgs' - a quadriplegic, a blind man, an amputee, a bio-hacker, and a woman with Parkinson's - the scientists who help them, and one entrepreneur who will stop at nothing on his quest to unlock the brain.

Meet Bill, Anne, and Stephen - three of the world's first real-world "cyborgs." Bill, paralyzed in a biking accident, enrolls in a mysterious research study in hopes to regain movement, while Anne, an artist with Parkinson's, and Stephen, a witty blind retiree, reluctantly explore invasive procedures to regain independence. As the patients each grapple with the unique opportunities and risks of implanting chips in their brain, scientists face pressing technical and ethical quandaries: will the same technology that heals the sick lead to super human abilities, telepathic communication, and cognitive enhancement? From the research lab to the operating table, I AM HUMAN unpacks the emerging complexity, real world possibilities and vast implications of humanity's quiet new march down a new evolutionary path.—Remark
