The Spirit of Asia – The Morning of the World (January 20th 1980) | Documentary movie by David Attenborough

Step into Bali as the world once saw it — a volcanic island of breathtaking beauty, living rituals, and timeless devotion.
This is the second episode of The Spirit of Asia (1980), a rare documentary series by David Attenborough that has long been considered lost. Once preserved only in fragments, it now returns to reveal a Bali that still whispers its ancient wisdom through ceremonies, temples, and everyday life.
Unlike its neighbors that embraced new faiths centuries ago, Bali remained rooted in its own spiritual path — a luminous blend of Hinduism and ancestral worship. Here, life unfolds in vibrant festivals, sacred offerings, and an intimate dialogue between the human and the divine.
This special screening is more than a film showing — it’s a rare glimpse into Bali’s soul.
