Release Date: 1994

Labels: Columbia Tristar Home Video, Gaumont

"Baraka", an acient Sufi word with forms in many languages, can simply be translated as a blessing, or as the breath, or essence of life from which the evolutionary process unfolds.

"Baraka" was photographed in 70mm on six continents in 24 countries including such diverse places as Tanzania, China, Brazil, Japan, Kuwait, Cambodia, Iran and Nepal, together with major U.S. and European locales. In capturing the glories and violent calamites that nature and man have brought to planet earth, "Baraka" tells the spellbinding story of the tumultuous interaction of earth and man.
