Alex Lines Film Inquiry Feb 13, 2019
Michael Franti's Stay Human is all about one simple but essential message: the only way to challenge cynicism is through hope and humanity, not through continued perpetuation of misanthropy. Go to Full Review

Indra Arriaga Anchorage Press Jan 25, 2019
The all-encompassing role of auter-star-composer has its shortcomings, and Staying Human is no exception. Staying Human comes across as self-indulgent even if it does provide some compelling human interest stories along the way. Go to Full Review

...the documentary boasts a number of unexpectedly engrossing and palpably emotional stretches that prove exceedingly difficult to resist... Go to Full Review

Albus G Feb 9, 2019 What it means to be human Is is an age-old question and Michael Franti personifies this question in his movie, Stay Human. Michael's ability to be in the moment with his emotions, questions, vulnerabilities, insights and revelations weave through the stories of the individuals that he encounters along his journey. This movie is relevant and timely given the immense division in America. Unity can be achieved when we all practice what it means to stay human. Thank you Michael. See more
Feb 5, 2019 We saw the Stay Human documentary with Michael Franti doing a short live acoustic show and Q and A. It is an exceptional movie of inspiration, humanity and hope. Michael only inspires hope via his music and his community efforts but this movie is very profound showing the people who inspire Michael. We need more of this right now. Watch the film! Share with friends. See more
Feb 5, 2019 Beautiful film that reminds us all to keep a positive out look and that vulnerability is healing for everyone! Love
Feb 2, 2019 I attended the afternoon 'added' showing /concert after the evening Boulder Theatre concert was sold out.... Many in the audience were families...parents with children from 2 to upper teens... I was gifted to tell Michael in person : " the number of young folks here is testament to the positive humane message you offer..." I am 71 and I have hope that more children raised with this positive attitude will weigh the spiritual/loving balance toward a common middle for the good of all living together in this reality...
