Save on electricity by getting your own enlightenment.

The story of Siddhartha. This is a well-designed and paced documentary on the life of the Buddha (I have read a few, and this is a great synopsis). It is presented through soundbites from artists, poets, monks, and others. We also get the stories augmented with drawings or watercolors. The narration is by Richard Gere. This is a short review, but it is not easy to include the details of the presentation without giving a presentation. Besides the different insights into Buddhism, the thing that I took away was the different locations where Buda was born, died, and received enlightenment. I only saw the Blu-ray version, so I cannot compare. However, there is a small documentary on the making of the documentary. You will need to rewatch the presentation as it is packed with information and ideas that do not give you too much time to think in between.
