The film Baraka showed a variety of scenery all over the world. From sacred grounds, to vast landscape, cities, old ruins, religious temples, and humanity from all angles of the globe. Baraka, also known as, blessing in numerous languages, was filmed from over 152 different locations worldwide within 24 countries, on six different continents. The film was shot using a high quality 70mm imagery to show the best quality pictures possible; and Time-lapse, to show the world and everyday life from multiple perspectives. The countries that was in producing this film was, “Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Cambodia, China, Ecuador, Egypt, France, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Iran, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Kuwait, Nepal, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Tanzania, Thailand, Turkey, and the United States.” (Wikipedia, Baraka, p. 1)

Baraka contained no form of human conversation or dialog, rather than tribal incantation and various sounds of nature. The movie showed some of the most beautiful locations on the globe known to man and some of its most devastating sides, due to nature and mankind repercussions.
