Baraka

Directed by: Ron Fricke
Written by: Constantine Nicholas, Genevieve Nicholas



Baraka is non verbal documentary film full with stunning visuals  of nature, rituals, war, death, culture, etc. The film was shot in 24 countries over a 14 month period.

The film shows visuals of  Buddhist temple, Orthodox Jews, Whirling Dervishes, a solar eclipse,  African tribal rituals, Jerusalem's Wailing Wall, Rain forests, Ayers Rock, Big Sur country, Hawaiian volcanoes, Brazilian slums, time-lapse footage of car and pedestrian traffic, Kuwait's burning oil fields, burning of the pyres at Ganga ghat,  Auschwitz, Egyptian Pyramids, Angkor Wat, Mount Everest, Indonesian factory workers., etc

The stunning visuals and composition takes your breath away. The film makes you feel reaching out to that particular moment. It made me feel why I don't see the world that way. 

It's a must watch.
