Naqoyqatsi

Naqoyqatsi: Life as war is a documentary film released in 2002; it is the third and final film of the Qatsi trilogy by Godfrey Reggio,scored by Philip Glass.

The film focuses on society’s transition from a natural environment to a technology-based industrial environment.

The name of the film is a Hopi word meaning “life as war”.

The first image that opens the film is a painting done in 1563 of The “Little” Tower of Babel, by Pieter Brueghel the Elder with a great significance in the narative sequence of the documentary.
