This is Karma by Erling Hoveid
A little long but a beautifully shot documentary on karma. Just what is karma? Hoveid dives a little deeper to find out.
THEME: This is a documentary about the philosophy of karma. I am into eastern philosophy which I find to have a lot of truth in it. I wanted to make a film that conveys the idea that we are all basically the same. And I also wanted to make an informative film about what karma really is in case people are interested.
FORM: I wanted to experiment with fusing the documentary genre with the music video genre. I also wanted to make a film that in form reflected indian society in all its colour, chaos and diversity. Indian traditional ideas and beliefs, indian classical music remixed and edited trough western eyes to hopefully suit a western audience.

"What goes around comes around."
"You reap what you sow."
"You made your bed now lie in it."
These are all the same idea as karma. I don't think I believe in an eternal wheel that exists beyond this life but I do really like what he says near the end: "... if I can see myself in you...". This to me is the essence of being good. Seeing others as a part of yourself and being interested in their welfare, not just your own.
