Powaqqatsi

While Koyaanisqatsi dealt with the imbalance between nature and modern society, Powaqqatsi is a celebration of the human-scale endeavor -- the craftsmanship, spiritual worship, labor and creativity -- that defines a particular culture. This second installment in director Godfrey Reggio's Qatsi trilogy is a celebration of rareness but also an observation of how these societies move to a universal drumbeat.
