Directed, produced, and written by Taryn Southern and Elena Gaby, it featured Bryan Johnson, David Eagleman, Ramez Naam, Tristan Harris, Nita Farahany, and John Donoghue.

Description
I Am Human follows the medical cases of three patients undergoing complex experimental brain treatments with the goal of regaining lost abilities, including body movement and vision. The documentary follows Bill, a man who became quadriplegic following a bicycle accident, who successfully had use of his arms and hands restored by a brain implant; Anne, who has Parkinson's disease but had its symptoms managed through technology; and Stephen, who lost his eyesight due to a neurological condition. Viewers are brought into the labs of around a dozen scientists working to overcome the technical challenges involved with "creating hardware for inside a human skull". It contemplates the existential question "what makes us human?"
I Am Human was the directoral debut of Taryn Southern and Elena Gaby, both of whom also produced and wrote the film. It was executive produced by Alex Klokus, the founder of the technology media company Futurism, and the American director Geoff Clark. Shortly before the film's premiere, The Film Company acquired its worldwide distribution rights. The film contains interviews with entrepreneur Bryan Johnson, neuroscientists David Eagleman and John Donoghue, author Ramez Naam, computer scientist Tristan Harris, and professor Nita Farahany.
