Edward Burtynsky takes you through the world of industrialization and manufacturing from a viewpoint that is both awe inspiring and grotesque. The cover of the movie shows a giant manufacturing facility where ceiling fans are produced. The camera first focuses on the warehouse workers as whole but then zooms in on the tasks that the workers do day in and day out. The tasks are mundane and mind numbing. They ranged from rinsing small plastic pieces one at a time to wrapping a small piece of wire around an inch long tube. The film makes you realize that to have the things we 'need' or want we are destroying the world around us.
