Humans of Cambridge highlights the wide breadth of life experiences among Cambridge residents, and how these frameworks- economical, cultural, and political- have made an impact on their personal lives. When considering "economics" or "politics", many fail to recognize how these systems affect people on an individual level.  Whether this failure of recognition is the oppression of voice due to racism and sexism, or the lack of respect due to wealth and power, real people have been cast to the shadows where society does not feel the need to recognize their existence.

Even in a city as proudly diverse as Cambridge, many people still fail to recognize the lives behind the people they see. When looking at a person, it can be difficult to tell the hardships they have faced, or the challenges they are going through. In order to truly accept diversity, one must recognize what exactly makes us diverse. This film brings to light the untold stories that make the people of Cambridge unapologetically unique

Humans of Cambridge is a powerful tool to tell the stories of the young people of Cambridge- their past, their present, their dreams. Highlighting the individuality of the people within the community, the hardships they have faced, and the amazing things they have accomplished. Through interviews, the audience will learn about their past, including how it has affected their handling of the current COVID-19 pandemic - whether people's viewpoints are different based on their background. In addition, architectural sketches and renderings will be utilized to question how architecture could come into play- how can architecture bring to life qualities of past homes, or iterate on current ones, and even how could design take place in this new world of social distancing? What do these individuals miss most, what do they need most, what do they want most, what could be designed for them? Through a mix of interviews, animation, and architectural drawings/animations, viewers will learn the stories and answers to these questions about the youth of Cambridge.
