Documentary set to music
 

I watched Koyaanisqatsi today and it reminded me of a film I saw some years ago.

I was shown the film at school, it had been recorded from the tv onto a video tape which places it some time in the 90s (or possibly 80s and had been repeated on tv). It could have been a bbc made for tv documentary. It was, like Koyaanisqatsi, a series of images set to music, and I believe it also had an environmental theme but it may also have focused on people and historical events as well.

It was definitely set to pop music, though, not specially composed or classical music, although I couldn't say for definite what songs were on it.

If anyone has any ideas, let me know.

This is the only one that springs to mind but I don't think it's the right one..

Powaqqatsi (1988) maybe?

No, neither of those. It was definitely pop music. Thanks for looking, though.

Nu narration? Can you remember any songs?

I don't think there was narration, although there may have been captions. There may have been Duran Duran, I'm not 100% sure, but it was music along those lines.

Sorry, I'm aware this is like trying to guess a song without knowing the tune or the lyrics.

Microcosmos?

Thanks, but no, it was broader in scope than that.

If anyone knows any good lists of documentaries where I could look, that might help.
