I’ve seen Koyaanisqatsi (Life out of Balance), it’s sequel, and Manufactured Landscape, which are all as close to the truth as you will get (unless you see it firsthand) . Koyaanisqatsi is a very fast paced movie that shows how we have been asleep to all these atrocities and it delivers perspective with a punch. The sequel is called “Powasquatsi” (Life in Transformation). Naqoyqatsi (Life as War) was made in the early 2000’s of which I have not seen is about the take over of technology. I’m at the local university studying Environmental Science and all of these movies are a must-see!

I saw this film a couple months ago, and I was not surprised.

I was amazed at how well they’ve portrayed the dark and dirty secrets that our consumerist society so skillfully hides, and pleased that it affected my parents, who are quite stubborn when it comes to these ‘new-fangled’ ideas.

Thanks for featuring it.
It’s a great film.
