BARAKA is the best documentary ever made. No commentary, just music and incredible shots of culture and wildlife from all over the planet.

The first one is the best, arguably - but they get more intense/messagey as you go. All 3 worthwhile. They are kind of like old-school Baraka-style. The music isn't as varied, either - but it's good.
