Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

"Electronic Awakening" is an eye-opening documentary film that explores the phenomenon of Electronic Music Culture. I learned a lot about the culture's history and is a timely reminder that the root influence of the latest trending festivals are far from a 'new thing.' It's inspiring to see that the EDM scene has been focused on creating a community that's centered on unity through dance and music. It also explains the complexity of the music, whose purpose is to induce spiritual experiences. The film does a great job at breaking down the negative stereotypes fueled by media coverage during the '90s. Overall, people who are looking to learn about the culture should definitely watch this movie.

Electronic Awakening is a dynamic account of electronic music and its spiritual effect on its followers. A truly compelling and visceral work, this documentary features real authentic scenes from festivals such as Sundance, Symbiosis, Burning Man and more documenting scenes of rituals, meditations, ecstatic dance and healing. Delving into its beginnings in the 1970's the film follows early rave scenes when synthesizers and drum machines ushered in an "electronic'" form of music that had thousands of participants dancing all night.This film like the phenomenon of EDM covers is a gateway into a higher consciousness of an enlightened way of human being. I relived many of my psychedelic episodes while watching this film. I truly enjoyed how it gave different perspectives of the EDM movement and how trance music and other genres provided a portal to well...Gos I have to have this one for my personal collection. Brilliant work!
