Critics and audiences have struggled to find the right words to describe the effect Baraka has on them for 16 years; but it seems appropriate to be speechless after seeing this wordless masterpiece of cinema.

Urban Cinefile
5 stars out of 5 -- [A] masterpiece. Dialogue free, it's brilliant in its simplicity; a series of slow-moving shots mesmerise the audience into a meditation on life on Earth.

Either an awesome vision of the world in all its time-lapsed wonder or visual whale music.

Product Description:
From Nepal to Kenya, from Australia to Brazil, people try to cope with the changes that have altered their landscape, crowding them together and speeding up daily life. The film shows us these alienated people, but also images of traditions--whirling dervishes and Tibetan monks--that offer different, peaceful ways of existence. Shot in 70mm in 24 countries, this awesome musical and visual montage in the tradition of KOYAANISQATSI expresses the global existence of nature and man in the broadest sensory terms.
Description by MPI Home Video:
Baraka, an ancient Sufi word with forms in many languages, translates as a breath or essence of life from which the evolutionary process unfolds.
Baraka is a poetic tour of the globe that depicts the harmony and rhythm between man and nature. Breathtaking, relaxing and spiritual, Baraka is sure to please.
