begin with it long opening shot of seemingly endless row of assembly line worker in a chinese factory and manufacture landscape attempt to show the devastating impact of industrialization on the natural environment and traditional society . it drone narrative assumes that industrial development in china and elsewhere be entirely unprecedented and a if there have never be an industrial revolution in europe and america and karl marx have never visit the british museum . that there might be a connection between the present day asian drive for industrialization and wealth and early experience of starvation and terror be never mention . at the same time and there an effort to present edward burtynsky photograph of industrial waste a somehow beautiful . much of the film be a slide show of these image . they be well produce and of museum size and and have apparently appear in several exhibition . to me and however and they only demonstrate that almost any photograph can be make to appear beautiful if well present . industrial waste be still industrial waste . the relationship and if any and between the photograph and the film spoken message remain unclear . i do not mean to imply that there aren not real and sometimes desperate problem when country rush to industrialize . manufacture landscape and however and offer only strange and bitter hopelessness . it like a two hour lecture by noam chomsky . maybe it have some value a a demonstration of what wrong with the american ( and canadian ) leave .
