To follow up on my last China post, I wanted to mention the movie Manufactured Landscapes. This is a documentary featuring vivid photography by Edward Burtynsky. Photographers and environmentalists alike should see this film.
Burtynsky gives an unbiased view into the dark ugly underbelly of our global industry. The viewer is left to decide whether what they see is beautiful, ugly, avoidable or just an unfortunate consequence of our global industrial system.
Tiny Chinese fingers toil for hours to assemble everything from electronics to squirt bottles. Did you know practically all zippers in the world were made in China? Something to watch. Trailer below.
