Originally shot in 25 countries on six continents, Baraka brought together a series of stunningly photographed scenes to capture what director Ron Fricke calls "a guided mediation on humanity." It was a shoot of unprecedented technical, logistical and bureaucratic scope that would take 30 months to complete, including 14 months on location, with a custom-built computerized 65mm camera. Film length: 97 minutes
"The goal of the film" says producer Mark Magidson, "was to reach past language. nationality, religion and politics and speak to the inner viewer."
“...bar-raising visuals ... yielding an experience much like living, breathing pages out of National Geographic." - Chris Chiarella of Big Picture Big Sound
