A Human Ride by Kristian Gründling
Germany, 2025, 64min., Documentary

The transformation of transportation is on everyone’s lips, and the future of mobility has become one of the most talked-about topics. But why does it matter so much? If transportation presents such enormous challenges, why don’t we just stay at home? Is mobility a fundamental human need?

In his latest film, A HUMAN RIDE, the award-winning director Kristian Gründling explores these compelling questions. Armed with a camera and microphone, he embarks on a unique journey through cities and villages, train stations and parks, gas stations and garages. Along the way, he encounters taxi drivers, scientists, and everyday people, collecting their personal insights on daily mobility.

Through these encounters, the film reveals surprisingly emotional stories that touch the heart, bring laughter, and provoke deep reflection. A HUMAN RIDE uncovers the complex significance of mobility for our freedom and a fair, socially responsible society, without resorting to simple solutions or stereotypical thinking. But where do the limits of this freedom lie?

Join A HUMAN RIDE, a cinematic exploration of the ancient human desire to be on the move. This film will change the way you see mobility.
