FF – (FUN-fact) – “Samsara” was filmed over nearly five years in 21 countries on 5 continents and was shot on 70mm film. It transports you to the varied worlds of sacred grounds, disaster zones, industrial complexes and natural wonders. Director Ron Fricke’s first film “Baraka” was released in 1992 and I’m told is even better than this.
