The Green

Ecological Documentary - (Observe the facts, make up your own mind)

This week, MANUFACTURED LANDSCAPES provides a captivating and mesmerizing journey through parts of Asia that are being transformed by industry. Following the images of still photographer Edward Burtynsky, this film silently poses a few questions. Is the world shaped and altered more by nature or by humans? In what ways does human industry alter the appearance and functionality of the planet? What are the hidden effects of an industrialized free market world? The film gives you objective information so you can ask yourselves these questions and can figure out your own answers.

Check out this clip and head over to the MANUFACTURED LANDSCAPES film page if you want to know when it will air next.
