Powaqqatsi concentrates on people of the developing world. Images from Brazil, Egypt, Hong Kong, India, Kenya, Nepal, and Peru make the film a good contrast to Koyaanisqatsi. Powaqqatsi concentrates more on people and less on their creations or surroundings than in Koyaanisqatsi. The images are beautiful and show the people of the developing world in a great way. The different colours found in South America, Asia and Africa are more vivid when shown in films such as Powaqqatsi. The insight into the everyday lives of these people is excellent. Powaqqatsi nearly puts you close enough to smell the cooking food, fresh fish and nearby fires. Powaqqatsi shows groups of people and their movements well, perhaps better than any of the other films such as Baraka or Koyaanisqatsi. People and their crafts are well show in Powaqqatsi. The daily lives of many religions are made clearer. Powaqqatsi overlaps in places with Koyaanisqatsi. The very long shot of the passing railway freight train is very reminiscent of Koyaanisqatsi. The images of crowded city streets remind me of Baraka.
