Baraka (1992) Director: Ron Fricke, 96 min
"Baraka," an ancient word with variations across numerous languages, can most simply be translated as blessing, or as the life essence from which all growth and evolution springs.
Inspired by American scholar Joseph Campbell's call to storytellers to tell "the only myth worth telling" — the story of our planet and humanity's relationship with it — director Ron Fricke crafted an epic cinematic work that, without a single word, uses image, sound, and music to deliver its message directly to both the heart and the mind.
Baraka bears sweeping witness to the magnificent and the terrible, to the triumphs and the catastrophes that nature and humankind have brought upon the Earth. We at DokuBergen look forward to sharing this extraordinary film experience with you.
The film will be screened with english subtitles.
