If you loved Baraka, try these.

Samsara poster 01

Movie / 2011 / Drama / Documentary

Samsara

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.

Chronos poster 02

Movie / 1985 / Documentary

Chronos

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.

Koyaanisqatsi poster 03

Movie / 1982 / Documentary

Koyaanisqatsi

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.

Powaqqatsi poster 04

Movie / 1988 / Documentary

Powaqqatsi

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.

Ashes and Snow poster 05

Movie / 2005 / Documentary / Drama

Ashes and Snow

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.

01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

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.
