Please do yourself a favour if you haven't already watched this and take time out to view. I watched this about 5 years ago and had another look today. Breath taking...

Please note that part 3 & 6 have no audio for copywrite reasons. I felt that the music was as much part of the film as the imagery was, and so while watching parts 3 & 6 I played the music to the link below. It works well.

Taken from Wiki (I know......it's not the Gospel)

Following previous DVD releases, in 2007 the original 65 mm negative was re-scanned at 8K (a horizontal resolution of 8192 pixels) with equipment designed specifically for Baraka at FotoKem Laboratories. The automated 8K film scanner, operating continuously, took more than three weeks to finish scanning more than 150000 frames (taking approximately 12-13 seconds to scan each frame), producing over 30 terabytes of image data in total. After a 16-month digital intermediate process, including a 96 kHz/24 bit audio remaster by Stearns for the DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack, the superior result was finally re-released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc in October, 2008. Project supervisor Andrew Oran says this remastered Baraka is "arguably the highest quality DVD that's ever been made". Chicago Sun-Times critic Roger Ebert describes the Blu-ray release as "the finest video disc I have ever viewed or ever imagined."
