Manufactured Landscapes

Watch it if you get the chance!! Another peek into our global (ir)reality. It focuses mainly in China, which is were most of the materials go to be assembled into cheap Chinese goods, which traditionally were plastic stuff like trainers, toys and cheap bracelets, but now they build it all, from computers to microphones. It has effectively transformed into the factory of the planet, and into its junkyard too. I wonder what kind of life these Chinese workers had before being slaved into this factories... was it so bad? In some ways I'm glad this is all going to be over, but unfortunately we are going to leave such a mess behind and nobody to clean it except eons of time.
