Tim Cogshell Boxoffice Magazine It's a hodge-podge of several nice but fairly unoriginal new age ideas about peace and oneness. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 29, 2002 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 4/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 4/5 Dec 8, 2002 Full Review Daniel Eagan Film Journal International Rather than enhance the music, the filmmakers' efforts trivialize it, turning it into the equivalent of politically correct screensavers.

Audience Member If you missed it- see it: It's a MUST! How could I have missed this one ??!! THIS IS A MUST SEE ! Most of us has the knowledge but can't put it into words. Bridgeman and Catto manages to enlighten us in an informal way about different cultures spiritual way to wiew our existence in a beautiful world. <br/><br/>Great music from Asia to Africa with musicians and singers from all over the world mixed together in a perfect match. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member main things in life expressed with the music of the world. wise and beautiful Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Critics will tell you that this movie is about humans becoming one or oneness and that it didnt deliver to their expectations. What they missed was that the message of oneness is a premise they seek to prove through the use of music. And they succeeded. Perhaps if you venture forward to understand anothers culture purely through its indigenous foods, music and celebrations, you may find you either have more in common with them and or enjoy what they have to offer. In the end, what makes us different is our desire to make ourselves different, but then if we all do this perhaps were all more alike than we want to admit. Fear the Russians in the 70s, fear the Japanese in the 80s, fear the Chinese in the 90s and now, fear the Arab. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member This film inspires me to love my life and do what I can to make the world a more harmonious place. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty good, but too political at times for my taste. Check that, too radical at times for my taste. But it's always interesting and the music is good. Worth a look, but for all it's ponderings, Baraka still speaks louder and more succintly with no words at all. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Everyone should watch this. It is the most honest representation of the human spirit. Great music, great philosophy.
