Twenty countries, 47 locations and six continents. The third part of a trilogy that includes “Manufactured Landscapes” (2006) and “Watermark” (2013).
From concrete seawalls in China that now cover 60% of the mainland coast to the biggest terrestrial machines ever built in Germany; from psychedelic potash mines in Russia’s Ural Mountains to conservation sanctuaries in Kenya and surreal lithium evaporation ponds in Chile’s Atacama desert, the film-makers have traversed the globe to document the evidence and experience of human planetary domination.
