Manufactured Landscapes

Director Jennifer Baichwal's third feature follows photographer Edward Burtynsky on his travels in this fascinating documentary. Burtynsky's photography focuses on changes in landscapes due to industrial work and manufacturing which Baichwal captures in this dazzling film that shows human made destruction of nature. The scenes in China are quite staggering that shows the consequences of progress on the environment. Baichwal and Burtynsky show rather than tell without taking sides leaving it to the audience to make their opinion which makes the film a profound experience. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
