Photographer Edward Burtynsky travels through China's industrial zones, framing the scale of manufacturing and waste with the same formal precision he brings to a gallery print. The opening shot alone runs several unbroken minutes down the length of a factory floor in Fuzhou, rows of workers assembling irons and toasters stretching further than the eye tracks. Director Jennifer Baichwal follows Burtynsky to the Three Gorges Dam construction site, where entire towns are being demolished ahead of the flooding, and to Bangladesh-style ship-breaking yards and e-waste dumps where circuit boards are stripped by hand. Interviews with workers and officials are sparse; the film lets the images argue instead, holding still on strip mines, tire mountains, and endless apartment blocks until the sheer size of industrial China registers physically. Burtynsky himself appears mostly at work, setting up shots and explaining what draws him to landscapes most people are trained to look away from. The result sits somewhere between art film and environmental record, more interested in scale than in verdicts.
