11 more positive votes and this documentary is in the top 250! Just seen, impressive film without a voice-over. Sometimes very beautiful images, sometimes very gruesome. In a short time a strong summary of humanity in the 21st century. I was afraid that this documentary would be very vague, but I thought it was a very realistic portrayal.

Film documentary that is very much in line with Koyaanisqatsi (Film, 1982) in which different cultures pass through and deliver impressive images. In addition, attention is also paid to climate and pollution and overpopulation is discussed with the ant's nest to people who pass in review in the world view. People as executors of major processes in the factories are also discussed. Very visually strong, accompanied by a successful soundtrack. Actually, you would have to see this several times to be able to record everything properly.
The beginning is very calm and serene with those cultural-religious customs, but that changes as the documentary progresses and it nicely reflects the effect of humans on society/world. A documentary without words, but it is the images that say it all. Good looking!
