The film Powaqqatsi focuses on the cultures of Asia, India, Africa, the Middle East, and South America. With a breathtaking score by Philip Glass, the movie is expressed solely in visuals and music, and is a powerful exploration of the efforts of developing nations and the effect the transition to modernization has had on them.
This 99 minute film (1988) is part of the series “THE WORLD NOW: GLOBAL UNDERSTANDING THROUGH ARTS AND CULTURE” and CINEMA Z, a monthly film series exploring the lives of great musicians and following musical traditions from around the world.
