In 40,000 years of existence, the human being – Homo sapiens – has never walked so little. With the decline of walking, are we at risk of losing our humanity? Made To Walk explores this question through intimate encounters with a gallery of extra/ordinary individuals — walkers and scientists — who reclaim or redefine walking as a way to reconnect with themselves. In a world that is increasingly sedentary, virtual, and fragmented, they each, in their own way, resist gravity, imbalance, the loss of identity, direction, or the experience of grief, by responding to the vital and inevitable call to stand and move on two feet.
