Filmed over nearly five years in twenty-five countries on five continents, and shot on seventy-millimetre film, Samsara transports us to the varied worlds of sacred grounds, disaster zones, industrial complexes, and natural wonders.
- Ahmed SiddiquiOctober 19, 2025A fascinating & beautiful documentary that tries to show the world in its rawest form without speaking a word. It shows both the natural and manufactured beauty of this world as well as the ugliness that some may want to avert their eyes from in their daily life. It covers human's gluttony, beauty, grace, consumerism, wisdom, and much more, and yet it is able to do so in a perfectly non-judgemental way. The documentary does not make an attempt to judge or condemn, but to show uncomfortable truths, the world in its rawest form. It also doesn't explicitly offer any type of an intellectual solution or remedy for the world's issues. If anything, my interpretation of the answer would be meditative, to still your mind in such a way that it would dissolve the internal world of ours, and through dissolution, would bring peace and harmony to the world outside.
