Many mythologies had a view of Earth as a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. 'Gaia' concept draws a connection between survivability of species. It proposes that biosphere and their physical components are closely integrated to form a complex interacting system that maintains the climatic, chemical, physical, geological, and biological conditions on Earth.

'Baraka' is a word that means blessing in many different languages. This film, here embeded, features a number of long tracking shots through various settings without any dialogue. Instead of a story or plot, the movie uses themes and music to present new perspectives.
