Aclamado documental sobre la naturaleza del planeta Tierra. Rodada en 24 países diferentes, trata de captar la esencia de la naturaleza y la cultura de la humanidad y sus costumbres, al tiempo que señala las formas en las que el ser humano se relaciona con su medio ambiente. La aparente fragilidad de la vida humana es contrastada con la grandeza de sus obras, subrayándose la desigual relación entre hombre y naturaleza. Baraka no tiene argumento lineal, ni personajes ni diálogos, pero, en medio de estos enormes contrastes, la espiritualidad de la humanidad surge como el elemento más importante que la distingue de otras especies. Un mundo más allá de las palabras.
Entirely shot on a mobile phone, the film evolved from chance encounters in the streets of London: Sandrine, an attractive young woman on a mission to find a husband, Steve, a seasoned beggar, struggling with addiction and and Steve's girlfriend Precious, a poet. Blurring the confines between fact and fiction. the film raises questions about the relationship between filmed and filmmaker. The closer he gets to his subjects, the more the obstruction of his camera seems to distance him from them. Ultimately People... reveals a personal and humane space that only came into existence precisely because it had been filmed.
An elegant meditation on time, travel, and ceremony in the form of a journey. In her first foray into digital video, Minh-ha deconstructs the role of ritual in mediating between the past and the present. She explains, "Shown in their widespread functions and manifestations, including more evident loci such as festivals, religious rite and theatrical performance, 'rituals' involve not only the regularity in the structure of everyday life, but also the dynamic agents in the world of meaning." With its lush imagery, Minh-ha's Japan is viewed through mobile frames, with doors and windows sliding shut, revealing new vistas as it blocks out the old light.

Whether political, sociological or social questions. In one's own life and that of others. Living, eating, loving. In art and philosophy. Everywhere man asks the question of "naturalness". How do I behave naturally? Do I have to behave naturally? What is natural? What is nature? This question occupies the most diverse people, have the most varied traits and characteristics.
