This documentary is really a full appreciation of what the world is in its different parts. The way that the filmmakers captures each momentum, spiritual moments and nature it just takes your mind to wonder. The best part of this is that even if its a non-verbal documentary, it stills has allot to say to the viewers. Throughout the different films one can see an specific scene that can capture your attention as for others that can make you want to even question how do some things really work. That’s the power of this documentary; to give to the people who watches it a view of the world and a new perspective.
