Editorial Reviews:
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great documentaries of sacred places, cultures Comment: This is a series of documentaries on various cultures and sacred places: Varanasi, India; the Taj Mahal; Haitian voodoo; Hinduism on Bali; Burma; Peru; Egypt; Jerusalem; Greece; Australian aboriginal tradition; the Anasazi ruins in the American Southwest; and Tantric Buddhism in Bhutan. They are each about 25 minutes long. They don't presuppose any knowledge of the religions they cover. But far more remarkably, they don't oversimplify and very rarely mislead or descend into shallow sentimentality. They maintain fairness to the traditions as well as historical accuracy without condescension. The ones on Burma, Haiti, Varanasi and Peru are especially good; Jerusalem and Egypt are perhaps a little weak. Few documentaries about religious topics would receive this high of a rating from me. These are genuinely good. More Reviews
