Acclaimed by Al Gore as 'beautiful, insightful and thought-provoking', Jennifer Baichwal's award-winning film centers on renowned artist Edward Burtynsky, whose large-scale photographs portray the devastating impact of industrial expansion on the environment.
Baichwal observes the artist at work amid some of the most surreal landscapes of the 21st century: China's mountains of computer waste; the Yangtze River where whole towns are disappearing in the flooding caused by the Three Gorges Dam and the shipbreaking yards of Bangladesh; Shanghai, with its increasingly crowded skyline and millions of new inhabitants.
