A documentary about Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky and his attempt to document modern industrialization gone amuck in China and other hypergrowth hotspots. Burtynsky is a master at finding beauty in dangerous industrial vistas.

The film makes no attempt to scare the audience with statistics and charts. Instead Director Jennifer Baichwal chose to follow Burtynsky as he travels the world looking for mindblowing industrial vistas he can capture on film. Burtynsky throws in an occasional comment about his subjects, but for the most part he lets the images and the words of the people behind the images do all the talking. It's clear that the workers depicted in the film are profoundly grateful for the jobs that have lifted them out of poverty. At the same time, they are fully cognizant and deeply concerned about the impact this rampant industrialization is impacting the world they are going to pass on to their children.
