Without words, cameras show us the world, with an emphasis not on “where,” but on “what is there.” This groundbreaking film was shot in 70mm. An awesome musical and visual montage from 24 countries, it has no plot, contains no actors and has no script. Instead, it is a panorama of breathtaking shots from around the world that expresses the global existence of nature and man in the broadest sensory terms. Coupled with an incredible soundtrack, including on-site recordings of the Monks of the Dip Tse Chok Ling Monastery, this stunning documentary screens in a new Blu-ray high definition digital format.
