Baraka

[rug]

Baraka is a 1992 non-narrative documentary film directed by Ron Fricke. The title Baraka means blessing in a multitude of languages, deriving from the Arabic[2] بركة, descending from a common Semitic ancestor and cognate to the Hebrew Baruch.

The film is often compared to Koyaanisqatsi, the first of the Qatsi films by Godfrey Reggio for which Fricke was cinematographer. Baraka was the first in over twenty years to be photographed in the 70mm Todd-AO format.

Not a word is spoken. Well worth the 97 minutes.
