Scenes throughout Baraka depict the rise and fall of humanity that has been present in our ancient civilizations since the dawn of time. A shocking revelation of the corruption and destruction of man's greed for hunger and power that breeds racial intolerance and war amongst nations. The poverty and inhumane injustice that exists due to the powerful elite. The use of religious intolerance and artificial greed that rapes the earth of natural resources.
Here, we see the mass production of farmed animals, cheap slave labour, over-population and the madness of the human race racing round the clock... This is a message that is clear of a time-bomb about to explode.
Within the speculation of our earth's change that is to herald in the birth of a new era could this be an awakening call to humanity? Our ecological crisis of our earth tells us time is running short.
Baraka has a way of filtering these pivotal messages that echo the long withstanding atrocities spread throughout the history of humanity.
Towards the end of the film there really is no final screen however, it reflects the compositions of our life be it big or small, brilliant or catastrophic. This in turn mirrors the anatomy of our world where the essence of spirit vs matter merge as one. In return we are left with the metaphorical verse of -"ashes to ashes and dust to dust."
