Having participated in the production of "Koyaanisqatsi" and then directed the similar "Chronos", Ron Fricke made "Baraka", another wordless documentary consisting entirely of assorted images of the world. We see cultures compared and contrasted, and also the natural world contrasted with city life. There's all sorts of diversity on the planet that we call home.
It's a testament to Fricke's talent that he accomplished all this without even a syllable of narration. He and his crew traveled to every continent except Antarctica to show these things, as well as the threats to the natural world.
Basically, it's a documentary that you just have to see. An absolutely impressive production. Having seen this one and his previous work, I'm now eager to see his "Samsara".
