Jennifer Baichwal's award-winning documentary centres 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
the shipbreaking yards of Bangladesh
Shanghai, with its increasingly crowded skyline and millions of new inhabitants.
