Summary: Incredible depiction of the whole, interconnected earth!
Review: I saw this while on an island in the pacific and felt closer to the rest of the world while simultaneously a speck in the ocean, "drop in the bucket", and gald I was not an "ant of the city" or worse, the "army".... Nevertheless happy to enjoy an insignificant, wonderful life fully aware of how far we have come, and how we can only change our tiny portion. Awesome!!!

Summary: A delight for cinematographers and astrophotographers
Review: As someone who enjoys great photography, I find Baraka as a wonderful, nonstop journey into the fine art of cinematography. You seem as if you are floating weightlessly through different worlds of nature, culture, and art in a way you have only imagined - as if you are studying our world from a unique vantage point with complete freedom of movement. This is more than a motion picture, it is a visual/audio masterpiece for anyone to study and enjoy. Personally, the astrophotography is some of the finest I have ever seen. If you don't have this video you are missing-out on a multi-sensory experience that is second to none!

Summary: futility, richness, inequality, similarity, diversity
Review: 'Baraka' was shown on 8/1/99 on National TV (ABC) in Australia. We saw it on the small TV screen, and the effect was mind blowing, exciting, and devastating. Mind blowing for the complexity and the similarity of all humankind. Exciting for allowing us to see at once, parts of all of us in every other one of us. Devastating because we rich in oh so rich countries can live rich, because resources are so unevenly distributed that the poor have to live oh so poor. Could the reality be that we are all so primitive: only four or five millennia away from the start of written history. If this is the 'fault, then there must be hope for the future...if we will allow a few more millennia to pass...

Summary: Wow.
Review: An absolute stunner. Speaks in volumes of the beauty and the horror of the world around us without a word of dialogue. I sat there speechless 5 minutes after it was over. The 70 mm film produces crystal clear images, combined with a lush soundtrack. This film is cinematic LSD; completely intoxicating, a tour de force on the senses. Absolutely beautiful filmmaking.

Review: Words cannot describe this epic. It is so beautifully portrayed. Visually profound and it's content, utterly enlightening. Ron Fricke is my new favourite director, he got me like an arrow in my heart! Intensely moving experience.
