Jennifer Baichwal's cameras follow Edward Burtynsky (1955- ) as he visits what he calls manufactured landscapes: slag heaps, e-waste dumps, huge factories in the Fujian and Zhejiang provinces of China, and a place in Bangladesh where ships are taken apart for recycling.

Jennifer Baichwal's cameras follow Edward Burtynsky (1955- ) as he visits what he calls manufactured landscapes: slag heaps, e-waste dumps, huge factories in the Fujian and Zhejiang provinces of China, and a place in Bangladesh where ships are taken apart for recycling. In China, workers gather outside the factory, exhorted by their team leader to produce more and make fewer errors. A woman assembles a circuit breaker, and women and children are seen picking through debris or playing in it. Burtynsky concludes with a visit to Shanghai, the world's fastest growing city, where wealth and poverty, high-rises and old neighborhoods are side by side.
Leave your thoughts about Manufactured Landscapes.
| Toronto StarPeter HowellAn astonishing visual indictment of man's inhumanity to Mother Earth, as seen through the documentary prism of Jennifer Baichwal. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsLouis ProyectA documentary about the penalties paid for hyper-growth in China. Highly recommended. |
| TV GuideKen FoxBurtynsky's keen sense of color, pattern and composition are obvious from his work, but equally acute are his thoughts on how he as an artist as well as an inhabitant of the planet fits into the larger scheme of things. |
| Film Journal InternationalKatey RichWhat's remarkable is that [Baichwal's] footage manages to add meaning to the photographs, already so powerful on their own. |
| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea Chasenever stoops to easy scape-goating, nor to pat, politically correct answers. It is as engaging, as maddeningly thought-provoking, as it is beautiful |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Jeff ViceDocumentarian Jennifer Baichwal's film finds a way to comment on ecological and environmental destruction without bludgeoning audiences with heavy-handed messages. There is a mesmerizing quality to the film. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeThis landmark glimpse into China's modern-day industrial revolution becomes something more -- a profound, open-ended meditation on man's physical impact on his environment. |
| Apollo GuideDan JardineDirector Baichwal capably bridges the gap between Burtynsky's objective photos and the audience's desire to be emotionally engaged by the material. |
| Denver Urban SpectrumKam WilliamsA powerful picture primarily because it never proselytizes but simple allows its visually-overwhelmed audience to draw its own conclusions about the unconsidered downside of living beyond our ecological means. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekLike Burtynsky's pictures, captures images that are at once awesome, humbling, and rather terrifying. |
