Whilst this is bit too long, it's still quite an interesting documentary showing the massive expanse that is the Grand Canyon. From the air, it appears unending with the Colorado river carving it's way through the stone carrying the water that provides for an astonishing array of creatures and plant life. I can only guess at the energy required by the sidewinder as it struggles to slither it's way up the sand dune - though it does get a bit of a free ride down the other side. The photography is presented as a visual accompaniment to Forde Grofé's "Grand Canyon Suite" which is all fairly standard orchestral fayre until the weather closes in and the "Cloudburst" section breathes some thundery and snowy life into the proceedings as the animals seek shelter where they can and what looks like time-lapse photography gives us the impression the clouds are actually dancing. If you've ever seen this phenomena in real life then you'll know it's all about the sunrise - and that's captured beautifully here as are the images of the rainbows, the summer blooms and the proud eagles as they re-assert themselves over the chilliness of a winter you might not think would ever visit these desert climes.

Ram Dass is one of the most important cultural figures from the 1960s and 70s. A pyschedelic pioneer, author of Be Here Now, beloved spiritual teacher, and outspoken advocate for death-and-dying awareness, Ram Dass is now himself approaching the end of life. Since suffering a life-changing stroke twenty years ago, he has been living at his home on Maui and deepening his spiritual practice — which is centered on love and his idea of merging with his surroundings and all living things. Shot in a nuanced cinematic style, the film is an intimate summary of his life learning and awareness, and is ultimately a poetic meditation on life, death, and the soul’s journey home.
