Baraka DVD
A World Beyond Words

In this classic 1992 movie, meticulous filmmaker Ron Fricke frames each shot as if it were a painting. All his efforts are directed to making life-affirming films, specialising in a spectacular non-verbal style.

Baraka (filmed on superb 70mm stock) develops the themes of interconnecedness and transcendence in a journey of rediscovery that plunges into nature, into history, into the human spirit and finally into the realm of the infinite.

Shot on location in 24 countries by meticulous film-maker Ron Fricke, Baraka offers an impressionistic visual and aural montage of the planet and its people.

The equally memorable soundtrack from musical director and composer Michael Stearns completes the experience and includes on-site recordings of The Monks Of The Dip Tse Chok Ling Monastery .

This is a once-in-a-lifetime movie experience that will stay with you. Baraka is an ancient Sufi word, loosely translated as a blessing, or the essence of life. This movie is indeed a blessing.
