Note: the first one is on slaughtering animals and is shocking. Whew! – LK

“I missed this one from 2012…one of the producers and same vein of/as Baraka from the 1990’s…

Review from Spirituality and Practice site.

   ‘Experiencing Samsara, we are challenged to leave behind our passive and isolated role of spectators and to step into the incredible energy streams of the wheel of life. For each of us, in our own way, is caught up in the cycles of life, death, and rebirth. And our journeys are connected to those of the people on the screen: we are rich and poor, happy and sad, hurried and at peace, open to change and locked in service to authoritarian leaders, filled with lust and dutifully spinning prayer wheels, searching for security and coming to terms with impermanence. Samsara shows us in no uncertain terms that the movements of creation and dissolution never stop.’

‘A human-powered washer and spin dryer to increase the efficiency and improve the experience of washing clothes by hand. More comfortable and saves the six hours it take to hand-wash clothes.’
