A black film poster, reading in small print at the top "FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA PRESENTS" with "KOYAANISQATSI" in large red text, subtitled below with "LIFE OUT OF BALANCE" The white text in the middle reads "October 4, 1982. More than 5,000 people filled out the sold out Radio City Music Hall to experience a remarkable film event. That event was the world premiere of KOYAANISQATSI. Now everyone can share the power of that experience." Below that text, reads "DIRECTED BY Godfrey Reggio, MUSIC BY Philip Glass, CINEMATOGRAPHY BY Ron Fricke".

You also give up the right to assign cause to the waxing and waning of your state of mind " all of which, while undoubtedly soothing, leave you helpless (at the effect of).

At the same time, taking this stand does not prevent you from holding others responsible"
