Why this pick
Ron Fricke extends Baraka’s wordless, large-format meditation on humanity, ritual, industry, and landscapes, with similarly meticulous time-lapse imagery and a more explicitly cyclical sense of life and death.
Why this pick
This earlier Ron Fricke film offers the same nonverbal, globe-spanning visual language: monumental places, flowing crowds, and time-lapse rhythms that turn civilization and nature into a contemplative symphony.
Why this pick
Its dialogue-free collision of natural grandeur, urban acceleration, and Philip Glass’s propulsive score makes it an essential companion to Baraka’s awe, unease, and planetary perspective.
Why this pick
A lyrical, nonverbal global journey focused on labor, ritual, and human movement, using vivid imagery and music to create the same reflective connection between individual lives and vast systems.
Why this pick
For Baraka’s hushed, spiritual side, this near-wordless visual poem pairs people and animals in dreamlike locations, emphasizing scale, fragility, and carefully composed photographic beauty.

Featuring no conventional narrative, this film presents footage of people, places and things from around the world. From chaotic cities to barren wilderness, the movie takes viewers around the globe to witness a variety of spectacles in both natural and technological realms. Detouring into former concentration camps, the production doesn't shy away from the dark side of humanity, and ultimately shows how much of the world is interconnected by both the tragedy and the vibrancy of life.
