Abstract
Award-winning Canadian documentary focusing on the work of renowned artist Edward Burtynsky. Jennifer Baichwal's film centres on Burtynsky's large-scale photographs that show the cataclysmic effects of industrial expansion on the earth's environment. Baichwal portrays the artist at work amid some of the strangest 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; the shipbreaking yards of Bangladesh; and Shanghai, with its increasingly crowded skyline and millions of new inhabitants
