Baraka



This is a 10 minute clip of Baraka. This movie is filled with the realities one doesn't get to see much on TV.

Watch this movie. It's available on Netflix, and for those of you who are familiar with P2P and TOR downloads, it's at the tip of your fingers. I own it and have watched it over 30 times since it came out. I also have given it as gifts to many people. Click on the above post title for more information.

It has good music, and provides a bird's-eye view of slices of life that most of us are utterly ignorant about. Have you ever wondered where your fried chicken comes from? Has your curiosity ever been aroused regarding what our oil consumption really costs? Have you ever wondered how the other half lives?

Official description:

"Shot in 24 countries on 70mm film, this mesmerizing visual study conveys the relationship between humans and the environment, with images ranging from the daily devotions of Tibetan monks to time-lapse views of the Hong Kong skyline. Accompanied by diverse world music -- without narration or dialogue -- the scenes capture nature's glory as well as its destruction, all expertly photographed by director and cinematographer Ron Fricke."

Sit down on a quiet evening, with a nice full glass of your favorite NSA wine and prepare for 93 minutes of mind-expanding video. You won't be sorry you did.

  1. Wonderful video, thank you for the heads-up! Excellent pictorial for anybody interested in multi-cultural understanding of the singular drive that binds us as one.
