An eco-conscious documentary in the spirit of An Inconvenient Truth, Manufactured Landscapes explores the world and follows the work of the artist Edward Burtynsky. Burtynsky’s large-scale photographs of civilization’s materials and debris—quarries, factories, mines, dams—encourage thoughtful reflection on the ways we impact our planet. In this film, join Burtynsky on a journey to China as he undertakes a project to document the evidence and effects of the country’s massive industrial revolution.
