World music, world travel, and worldly wisdom form the unified whole of the ambitiously bohemian DVD 1 Giant Leap. Creators Duncan Bridgeman and Jamie Catto cast themselves as globetrotting ambassadors of goodwill and good music, and they prove better as musical explorers than as filmmakers. The result is a flowing, loose-knit tapestry of imagery, interviews, and diverse performances. Gathering material from 25 countries and dozens of famous and not-so-famous musicians, authors, celebrities, spiritualists, philosophers, and unique individuals from nearly every cultural background, this enveloping DVD is best enjoyed as a soothing audiovisual odyssey (select "loop mode" for continuous play!). Assembling this cornucopia by theme (Time, Inspiration, Sex, God, Death, etc.), Bridgeman and Catto function as co-composers with an astonishing array of collaborators, giving 1 Giant Leap its richly international (and some might say inter-spiritual) identity. The result is a far-reaching glimpse of our world through the eyes of those who improve it by their musical presence. --Jeff Shannon

Sonido 5.1 y un interesante making off.......2007-05-25

Son videos explicativos de como realizaron el cd. Los videos más conocidos del cd también se encuentran. Una curiosidad para adquirir. Pero si esperaba algo que le agregara mas sabor al cd esto no es para usted.

1 Giant Leap.......2007-05-02

I became aware of this title through the local Cable Combine's on-demand function. But for Vonnegut's association, I could have easily neglected this significant treatise combining musical, philosophical, spiritual, etc., commentaries reflecting much of what is fundamentally important to our human collective. As such, the broadcast projects fabulous power, so I looked into the DVD. Featuring 155 minutes, I thought, "Great! The DVD is twice as long as the teevee version." So, I order the DVD but am distressed to learn that we can't simply run the entire program with one simple press of the play button but must instead manually start each chapter!! Annoying!!! That significantly detracts from an otherwise noteworthy sequence. So much for continuity. For that reason, the producers have earned 1 Giant Leap two stars.

1 Giant Leap.......2007-01-09

This is an eye opening multi country adventure that I recommend to many people. Whether you are a music/culture enthusiest or not it is a must for people interested in the world around us and should be in every classroom in America.

got Spirit?.......2006-11-05

This film is what I would call a spiritual adventure. Great music, great imagery from all over the world, great insightful interviews with people of all different faiths. It's the kind of film that keeps giving something new everytime you watch it! I love it, and would highly recommend for anyone who is seeking truth.

One Giant Must Have.......2006-03-21

A giant adventure in music, travels and spirituality. If you think What the Bleep was any good, this will inspire and enchant. Listening to Ram Das, Kurt Vonnegut and Dennis Hopper speak may be the closest many of us get to hearing from the likes of a chi gung grandmaster or a yogi guru personally. Pair that with visions from around the world and music inspired in nature and humanity. This is a must have.
