1
00:05:34,050 --> 00:05:37,315
Is there some way
I can actually talk about nature...
2
00:05:38,354 --> 00:05:41,050
and kind of bring
a certain appreciation...
3
00:05:41,157 --> 00:05:44,524
for what it represents?
4
00:05:44,627 --> 00:05:48,859
That we come from nature,
and that we have to understand
what it is...
5
00:05:48,965 --> 00:05:52,867
so as not to harm it
and then to ultimately harm ourselves.
6
00:05:52,969 --> 00:05:57,929
That there is an importance to have
a certain reverence for what nature is...
7
00:05:58,041 --> 00:06:01,442
because we are connected to it
and we are part of it.
8
00:06:01,544 --> 00:06:04,342
And if we destroy nature,
we destroy ourselves.
9
00:06:04,447 --> 00:06:08,508
So I believe that as a fundamental
philosophical position...
10
00:06:08,618 --> 00:06:10,586
when I look at the world.
11
00:06:11,788 --> 00:06:13,415
So I started thinking, well...
12
00:06:13,523 --> 00:06:16,822
maybe the new landscape of our time,
the one to start to talk about...
13
00:06:16,926 --> 00:06:19,258
is the landscape that we change.
14
00:06:19,362 --> 00:06:22,627
The one that we, you know, disrupt...
15
00:06:22,732 --> 00:06:24,859
in pursuit of progress.
16
00:06:24,968 --> 00:06:28,131
So, I‘m trying to look at...
17
00:06:28,237 --> 00:06:30,705
the industrial landscape...
18
00:06:30,807 --> 00:06:33,105
as a way of defining who we are...
19
00:06:33,209 --> 00:06:35,177
and our relationship to the planet.
20
00:06:37,180 --> 00:06:40,240
It‘s just this thing that‘s just growing,
and it‘s part of our economy...
21
00:06:40,350 --> 00:06:43,547
and it‘s part of our politics,
and it‘s a part of how we elect our governments.
22
00:06:43,653 --> 00:06:45,553
It‘s part of everything we do.
23
00:06:45,655 --> 00:06:48,146
But it‘s this big machine
that started rolling...
24
00:06:48,257 --> 00:06:52,057
and I‘m not coming at it...
25
00:06:52,161 --> 00:06:55,824
to celebrate or glorify the industry,
nor am I trying to damn it.
26
00:06:55,932 --> 00:06:58,867
I‘m just trying to say,
“Well, this is what it is.”
27
00:07:00,703 --> 00:07:04,161
So to show those types of images
of those types of places...
28
00:07:05,341 --> 00:07:07,400
allows the viewer...
29
00:07:07,510 --> 00:07:11,207
to begin to comprehend the scale.
30
00:07:13,149 --> 00:07:15,743
So it‘s another landscape.
It is a landscape.
31
00:07:15,852 --> 00:07:17,820
It‘s a different landscape.
32
00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:18,626
Good morning, guys.
33
00:10:18,734 --> 00:10:20,258
Good morning!
34
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,231
Under these
particular circumstances,
35
00:10:26,342 --> 00:10:29,334
we can easily discover
many shortcomings.
36
00:10:29,645 --> 00:10:35,743
They complain about us every day.
Watch the way you operate.
37
00:10:36,219 --> 00:10:39,848
Also, watch those knobs for controlling
temperature and those for steam.
38
00:10:40,890 --> 00:10:42,517
Don't laugh.
39
00:10:42,825 --> 00:10:44,292
Don't talk.
40
00:10:46,329 --> 00:10:51,767
You, stand behind him. Four in a row.
Stand straight. You, come to this row.
41
00:10:52,768 --> 00:10:59,196
Regarding the unqualified material,
our group, 2B, did the worst.
42
00:11:00,443 --> 00:11:03,412
Every time we worked on 7562,
if I didn't remind you,
43
00:11:03,512 --> 00:11:08,950
then nobody would label the bad items,
so they got messed up.
44
00:11:09,852 --> 00:11:11,717
They were scattered everywhere.
45
00:11:11,821 --> 00:11:16,554
Besides this, the worst thing,
there were no labels for them.
46
00:11:23,466 --> 00:11:28,836
So when the products were moved,
the bad ones went out as well.
47
00:11:29,872 --> 00:11:33,433
I'm not a god.
I'm a human being, just like you.
48
00:11:33,542 --> 00:11:36,477
I am only 1 person and you are 20.
49
00:11:37,980 --> 00:11:41,575
When those materials were rejected,
the quality controller complained a lot.
50
00:11:42,318 --> 00:11:45,310
This is the bad habit that exists
in our group, 2B.
51
00:11:59,035 --> 00:12:02,698
Edward? They want to know
how you like it so far.
52
00:12:02,805 --> 00:12:04,773
It‘s okay if we move...
53
00:12:04,874 --> 00:12:08,332
Like trying to fill this area up here
is the, uh, most important.
54
00:12:09,578 --> 00:12:12,274
Like, yeah, that one group,
the colored sh
55
00:12:37,239 --> 00:12:39,139
That‘s good. Eh, Noah?
56
00:12:39,241 --> 00:12:43,473
Marching them all down here is fantastic ‘cause I lose them down at the other end anyways.
57
00:12:46,015 --> 00:12:48,916
So you want the foreground to be full.
58
00:12:49,018 --> 00:12:51,885
They‘re coming.
It‘s looking okay.
59
00:13:15,544 --> 00:13:18,809
I wish that I had the light
about a half hour ago.
60
00:13:18,914 --> 00:13:21,644
It‘s deadened down a bit.
I‘m hoping it opens up.
61
00:13:32,862 --> 00:13:36,093
— I think we‘re good. I‘m just shooting now. — Okay, good.
62
00:13:37,099 --> 00:13:41,536
It should be good. No problem.
He is shooting now.
63
00:13:55,918 --> 00:13:58,284
That‘s good.
64
00:13:58,387 --> 00:14:00,287
That‘s perfect.
65
00:14:13,669 --> 00:14:16,365
Ladies and gentlemen, Ed Burtynsky.
66
00:14:25,648 --> 00:14:29,049
Inspired by nature.
That‘s the theme here.
67
00:14:29,151 --> 00:14:31,312
And I think, quite frankly...
68
00:14:31,420 --> 00:14:33,684
that‘s where I started.
69
00:14:33,789 --> 00:14:36,280
I had a bit of an epiphany
being lost in Pennsylvania.
70
00:14:36,392 --> 00:14:40,658
I took a left turn trying to get
back to the highway and ended up
in a town called Frackville.
71
00:14:40,763 --> 00:14:44,324
And I got out of the car and I stood up,
and it was a coal mining town...
72
00:14:44,433 --> 00:14:47,095
and I did a 360 turnaround...
73
00:14:47,203 --> 00:14:51,333
and that became one of the most
surreal landscapes I had ever seen.
74
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,431
Totally transformed by man.
75
00:14:53,542 --> 00:14:55,510
And that— that got me to—
76
00:14:55,611 --> 00:15:00,173
to go out and look at the largest
industrial incursions that I could find.
77
00:15:00,282 --> 00:15:03,581
And that became the baseline
of what I was doing.
78
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,632
I guess in the back ofeverybody‘s
mind, when you think of extraction industries...
79
00:16:00,743 --> 00:16:04,474
that we all know that stuff comes from
somewhere, but we‘re disconnected from that.
80
00:16:04,580 --> 00:16:09,040
So my images brought those landscapes
into our consciousness...
81
00:16:09,151 --> 00:16:12,416
and for about ten years
I explored that kind of landscape...
82
00:16:12,521 --> 00:16:16,787
through quarries and mines
nickel or copper or iron ore.
83
00:16:16,892 --> 00:16:20,419
And ones that had been going on
for long periods of time...
84
00:16:20,529 --> 00:16:22,656
so that the evidence
of that accumulated taking
85
00:16:22,765 --> 00:16:25,529
in one frame
you can show the dimensions...
86
00:16:25,634 --> 00:16:28,535
of our extraction
in the landscape.
87
00:19:01,457 --> 00:19:03,357
When looking at China...
88
00:19:03,459 --> 00:19:06,326
I was looking at that place
where all these materials coalesce...
89
00:19:06,428 --> 00:19:08,828
and so they‘re coming in
from all around the world
90
00:19:08,931 --> 00:19:13,459
iron ore and aluminium
and, uh, wood.
91
00:19:13,569 --> 00:19:16,197
All these things that China
has very little of.
92
00:19:16,305 --> 00:19:18,273
And then these factories
are this place...
93
00:19:18,373 --> 00:19:20,534
where all these materials
get formed into products...
94
00:19:20,642 --> 00:19:23,304
and sent back out around the world.
95
00:21:49,191 --> 00:21:51,591
We haven't sorted
these recycling materials in time.
96
00:21:51,693 --> 00:21:53,991
Now there's too much to do.
97
00:21:54,096 --> 00:21:57,998
You wouldn't start working
until you were told to.
98
00:21:59,167 --> 00:22:01,965
You don't want to work?
99
00:23:26,254 --> 00:23:28,722
The other aspect
of what‘s happening in China...
100
00:23:28,824 --> 00:23:31,418
is that a lot of the recycled
materials that are collected here...
101
00:23:31,526 --> 00:23:33,926
are being taken to China by ship.
102
00:23:34,029 --> 00:23:35,929
That‘s cube metal.
103
00:23:36,031 --> 00:23:37,999
This is armatures, electrical
armatures...
104
00:23:38,100 --> 00:23:41,695
where they‘re getting the copper
and the high—end steel from electrical motors.
105
00:23:43,038 --> 00:23:46,201
50% of the world‘s computers
end up in China to be recycled.
106
00:23:47,242 --> 00:23:49,506
It‘s referred to as e—waste there.
107
00:23:49,611 --> 00:23:53,843
And, um, the way they recycle
is that they actually heat up the boards...
108
00:23:53,949 --> 00:23:56,577
and with pairs of pliers
they pull off all the components.
109
00:23:56,685 --> 00:23:59,950
They‘re trying to get all the valued metals out of those components.
110
00:24:00,055 --> 00:24:02,546
But the toxic smells
when you‘re coming to a town...
111
00:24:02,657 --> 00:24:05,558
that‘s actually doing this kind
of burning of the boards...
112
00:24:05,660 --> 00:24:09,426
you can smell it a good five or ten
kilometers before you get there.
113
00:24:32,354 --> 00:24:34,322
I‘m not usually known for portraits...
114
00:24:34,423 --> 00:24:36,721
but I couldn‘t resist on this one,
where she‘s probably
115
00:24:36,825 --> 00:24:39,658
She‘s been through Mao, and she‘s
been through the great leap forward
116
00:24:39,761 --> 00:24:41,729
and the cultural revolution...
117
00:24:41,830 --> 00:24:44,799
and now she‘s sitting on her porch
with this e—waste beside her.
118
00:24:44,900 --> 00:24:47,266
It‘s quite something.
119
00:25:19,301 --> 00:25:21,861
So. All right. No, higher.
120
00:25:21,970 --> 00:25:23,938
Higher, a bit higher.
121
00:25:26,608 --> 00:25:28,508
There we go.
122
00:25:31,079 --> 00:25:32,979
Okay.
123
00:26:01,443 --> 00:26:03,502
It's not useable anymore.
124
00:26:04,446 --> 00:26:07,540
So after you sort them out,
will you smash all of them?
125
00:26:07,682 --> 00:26:09,343
Yes. All will be smashed.
126
00:26:24,900 --> 00:26:27,528
In one of the towns
that was the most notorious...
127
00:26:27,636 --> 00:26:29,661
for e—waste recycling...
128
00:26:29,771 --> 00:26:32,205
they were smashing monitors...
129
00:26:32,307 --> 00:26:34,901
and taking using the glass...
130
00:26:35,010 --> 00:26:36,944
but inside the monitor...
131
00:26:37,045 --> 00:26:41,675
was full of phosphors and of lead,
different types of cadmium, different
132
00:26:41,783 --> 00:26:44,843
pretty toxic, uh, heavy metals.
133
00:26:44,953 --> 00:26:47,751
And— So all of this, of course...
134
00:26:47,856 --> 00:26:51,883
would wash into the rivers,
would go into the— the soil...
135
00:26:51,993 --> 00:26:56,259
and after every rain, it would get it
further and further into the water table...
136
00:26:56,364 --> 00:26:59,231
to the point where the water table
is totally contaminated...
137
00:26:59,334 --> 00:27:02,269
and they‘re now having to ship
water in.
138
00:29:48,837 --> 00:29:53,797
First, welcome to our company.
This is the headquarter office.
139
00:29:54,542 --> 00:29:59,002
During the past 13 years, our company
has been expanding steadily.
140
00:30:01,049 --> 00:30:07,818
Our product is sold in more than 60
countries and territories around the world.
141
00:30:09,824 --> 00:30:12,759
Our products cover from the origin
142
00:30:12,861 --> 00:30:16,763
to the terminal of low voltage
electrical safeguards,
143
00:30:17,065 --> 00:30:22,367
which includes the
TSM1 Smart Breaker,
144
00:30:22,470 --> 00:30:25,962
Smart and Multi-functional Breaker...
145
00:30:28,109 --> 00:30:33,376
and the TSM21 Breaker,
TSM Small Breaker,
146
00:30:33,481 --> 00:30:37,975
and the TSY Power Supply Protector.
147
00:31:06,114 --> 00:31:09,572
My name is Tan Yanfang.
148
00:31:10,084 --> 00:31:11,676
How long have you been working here?
149
00:31:11,786 --> 00:31:13,754
Six years.
150
00:31:16,090 --> 00:31:19,992
I can assemble 400 units every day
without overtime.
151
00:31:31,005 --> 00:31:33,872
The shell of the TSM Small Breaker
152
00:31:34,576 --> 00:31:38,512
is made of the best quality materials
in the world,
153
00:31:38,646 --> 00:31:44,516
including specialized parts
imported from Holland.
154
00:31:46,788 --> 00:31:53,125
The products are mainly for...
Excuse me...
155
00:31:54,596 --> 00:31:57,064
I feel so nervous.
156
00:31:57,665 --> 00:31:58,893
That's okay.
157
00:31:59,334 --> 00:32:01,598
Can I use...
158
00:32:02,170 --> 00:32:04,764
Can I use my notes?
159
00:32:04,873 --> 00:32:06,773
You can read. That's fine.
160
00:32:07,842 --> 00:32:11,642
We will keep updating our marketing,
focussing on technical research,
161
00:32:12,814 --> 00:32:14,873
to serve our customers best.
162
00:32:17,318 --> 00:32:19,309
Professional, high-quality,
and large-scale work
163
00:32:19,420 --> 00:32:22,253
will make our company
an industry leader.
164
00:32:24,859 --> 00:32:28,260
Our corporate goal is to be exceptional.
Professionalism is our principle.
165
00:35:48,129 --> 00:35:50,996
— Are we moving on now?
— Yeah, we‘re gonna move on.
166
00:35:51,099 --> 00:35:53,499
The lights really good.
Let‘s try and get some more stuff.
167
00:35:53,601 --> 00:35:55,501
Yeah.
168
00:36:49,724 --> 00:36:52,750
Changes here are huge.
169
00:36:53,227 --> 00:36:55,991
My father told me when
he came here in the early '90s,
170
00:36:56,097 --> 00:37:01,057
there were no ships being built.
Now it's getting richer here.
171
00:37:07,008 --> 00:37:09,670
My mother is a welder, just like me.
My father is an assembler.
172
00:37:10,344 --> 00:37:14,508
I failed to get into high school
and my uncle worked here.
173
00:37:14,615 --> 00:37:17,015
That's why I came here to work.
174
00:37:35,069 --> 00:37:38,630
You might want
to pull this a bit for the sky.
175
00:37:38,739 --> 00:37:40,639
You already got one, right?
176
00:37:40,741 --> 00:37:45,144
Yeah,just ‘cause I overexposed a bit
in the second one, so I want to pull
it a bit.
177
00:37:52,653 --> 00:37:54,553
Yup.
178
00:38:33,628 --> 00:38:35,789
These ships carry, I think,
a great metaphor...
179
00:38:35,897 --> 00:38:39,526
of, you know,
connecting us through seas.
180
00:38:39,634 --> 00:38:42,797
The materials that we experience
all come through ships...
181
00:38:42,904 --> 00:38:46,101
so they have become
the kind of reason...
182
00:38:46,207 --> 00:38:49,540
that has allowed, um, globalization...
183
00:38:49,644 --> 00:38:51,612
to take the proportions it has.
184
00:39:29,383 --> 00:39:31,874
The high tide is at 13—
185
00:39:31,986 --> 00:39:34,511
So 1:30 is high tide.
186
00:39:34,622 --> 00:39:38,718
They want it in farther ‘cause
they can get— they can work on it.
187
00:39:38,826 --> 00:39:41,158
— It‘s too far out for them to get it together. — Right.
188
00:39:41,262 --> 00:39:45,130
I want to see if we can
actually walk up to that other big ship.
189
00:39:45,232 --> 00:39:48,326
And how— Where do they anticipate it to land? What‘s their best guess?
190
00:39:48,436 --> 00:39:52,236
They don‘t know.
It‘s all the will of God.
191
00:40:25,339 --> 00:40:27,307
I like it.
192
00:41:27,568 --> 00:41:31,664
At one point, I was shooting a mine,
and it was a silver mine.
193
00:41:31,772 --> 00:41:33,740
Okay, it‘s a little dark.
194
00:41:33,841 --> 00:41:38,676
I arrive in my car, made out of iron,
you know, filled with gas.
195
00:41:38,779 --> 00:41:40,804
I pull out a metal tripod...
196
00:41:40,915 --> 00:41:45,113
and grab him that‘s loaded with silver
and start taking pictures.
197
00:41:45,219 --> 00:41:49,679
So everything that I‘m doing is connected
to the thing I‘m photographing.
198
00:41:52,293 --> 00:41:55,126
Looking at these ships
in Bangladesh...
199
00:41:56,397 --> 00:41:58,490
the connection was clear.
200
00:41:58,599 --> 00:42:02,467
At some point,
I probably filled a tank of gas...
201
00:42:02,570 --> 00:42:05,630
from the oil that was delivered
by one of these tankers.
202
00:44:37,825 --> 00:44:41,784
These oil tankers still had sludge and crude at the bottom
of the ships...
203
00:44:41,895 --> 00:44:45,126
that had to be scraped out,
and it was all done by hand.
204
00:44:45,232 --> 00:44:47,826
You know, 18, 19, 20—year—old boys,
even younger...
205
00:44:47,935 --> 00:44:50,369
in oil up to their necks.
206
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:56,401
It‘s very, very low—paid work
and very dangerous work...
207
00:44:56,510 --> 00:45:00,742
so you rarely see anybody
over 30 at work there.
208
00:46:42,182 --> 00:46:44,150
The whole idea of energy...
209
00:46:44,251 --> 00:46:46,378
entered my work around 1997...
210
00:46:46,487 --> 00:46:50,014
when I began to photograph
oil fields and oil refineries.
211
00:46:50,124 --> 00:46:52,285
And I had this,
what I call an oil epiphany...
212
00:46:52,393 --> 00:46:54,861
when one day I was driving
and started to think...
213
00:46:54,962 --> 00:46:56,930
about how oil had affected my life...
214
00:46:57,030 --> 00:47:01,592
and I was holding onto a plastic
steering wheel that was probably
made from oil derivatives...
215
00:47:01,702 --> 00:47:04,296
in a car with paints that were oil...
216
00:47:04,405 --> 00:47:07,374
looking through glass that was probably
heated through oil...
217
00:47:07,474 --> 00:47:09,669
driving on black tar.
218
00:47:12,112 --> 00:47:15,309
as a key building block
of the last century.
219
00:48:02,930 --> 00:48:05,091
I thought of it as the oil party—
220
00:48:05,199 --> 00:48:08,965
that, you know, there‘s this
great abundance of black liquid...
221
00:48:09,069 --> 00:48:11,936
that gives us this mobility,
this freedom.
222
00:48:12,039 --> 00:48:14,769
And I couldn‘t help but feel...
223
00:48:14,875 --> 00:48:18,572
that, you know, China was kind of
either joining the last dance...
224
00:48:18,679 --> 00:48:21,147
or the second—last dance
to this party...
225
00:48:21,248 --> 00:48:23,375
that peak of oil is somewhere
226
00:48:23,484 --> 00:48:26,817
that either we‘re— we‘ve hit it
or we‘re about to hit.
227
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,684
You know, no matter what we do,
we just can‘t get enough...
228
00:48:29,790 --> 00:48:32,020
to supply the world demand.
229
00:48:32,125 --> 00:48:35,583
So to look at China
and the way they‘re expanding...
230
00:48:35,696 --> 00:48:38,164
to be the manufacturers
of the world...
231
00:48:38,265 --> 00:48:42,201
is a very different energy footprint.
232
00:48:42,302 --> 00:48:45,999
And because they‘re entering
late in the game...
233
00:48:46,106 --> 00:48:49,542
it remains a question of how long
they‘ll be able to sustain.
234
00:50:22,569 --> 00:50:24,469
— Excuse me.
— Yeah.
235
00:50:24,571 --> 00:50:27,335
As far as I understand,
the problem right now
236
00:50:27,441 --> 00:50:29,671
— Yeah.
— I mean, this is my personal idea.
237
00:50:29,776 --> 00:50:30,936
Okay.
238
00:50:31,044 --> 00:50:34,480
Is that the court itself
has the very regulation
239
00:50:34,581 --> 00:50:36,412
Yeah.
240
00:50:36,516 --> 00:50:40,782
That no media is allowed
to come to this, uh
241
00:50:40,887 --> 00:50:42,855
Yeah, no, I understand that.
242
00:50:42,956 --> 00:50:45,789
But my understanding is,
from Mr. Chen Ling this morning
243
00:50:45,892 --> 00:50:48,793
— I think, maybe he
— You know? Yeah, no, no. That‘s okay.
244
00:50:48,895 --> 00:50:53,525
Maybe Mr. Chen Ling does not know that
there is a certain regulation that, uh
245
00:50:53,634 --> 00:50:55,932
Yeah.
246
00:51:33,740 --> 00:51:35,298
Really, it has—
247
00:51:52,626 --> 00:51:54,491
— Well, let‘s go see.
— Let‘s go see.
248
00:51:56,596 --> 00:51:59,030
We don‘t even know what we‘re talking about. Then we‘ll come back and talk.
249
00:51:59,132 --> 00:52:02,101
— Right. Okay. Let‘s—
— Okay, so let‘s do that.
250
00:53:28,288 --> 00:53:30,756
What you see here
is the Three Gorges Dam...
251
00:53:30,857 --> 00:53:33,985
and this is the largest dam by 50%...
252
00:53:34,094 --> 00:53:36,289
uh, ever attempted by man.
253
00:53:36,396 --> 00:53:39,194
Most of the engineers
around the world left the project...
254
00:53:39,299 --> 00:53:41,426
‘cause they said, “It‘s just too big.“
255
00:53:41,535 --> 00:53:45,869
Um, in fact, when it did actually fill
with water a year and a half ago...
256
00:53:45,972 --> 00:53:49,066
they were able to measure a wobble
within the Earth as it was spinning.
257
00:53:49,176 --> 00:53:52,612
It took 15 days to fill it.
So, this is a massive—
258
00:53:52,712 --> 00:53:55,146
It‘s created a reservoir
600 kilometers long...
259
00:53:55,248 --> 00:53:58,342
one of the largest reservoirs
ever created.
260
00:53:58,451 --> 00:54:01,579
And it‘s actually a relief
for what‘s going on in China...
261
00:54:01,688 --> 00:54:03,656
because, I think,
on the table right now...
262
00:54:03,757 --> 00:54:07,955
there‘s 27 nuclear power stations
to be built in the next 10 years...
263
00:54:08,061 --> 00:54:11,827
and coal—burning furnaces
are going in there for electric power...
264
00:54:11,932 --> 00:54:13,900
literally weekly.
265
01:00:35,548 --> 01:00:37,448
Take a look at that.
266
01:00:37,550 --> 01:00:39,415
Oh, wow.
267
01:00:48,595 --> 01:00:51,120
So I made three trips
to the Three Gorges Dam...
268
01:00:51,231 --> 01:00:54,257
looking at that massive transformation
of a landscape.
269
01:00:54,367 --> 01:00:57,564
And it‘s not— It looks like
a bombed—out landscape, but it isn‘t.
270
01:00:57,670 --> 01:01:01,936
It—What it is— It‘s a landscape
that is an intentional one.
271
01:01:02,041 --> 01:01:03,941
This is a need for power...
272
01:01:04,043 --> 01:01:08,241
and they‘re moving 13 full—sized cities
up out of the reservoir...
273
01:01:08,348 --> 01:01:11,317
and fittening all the buildings
so they can make way for the ships.
274
01:01:11,417 --> 01:01:13,715
And it was all the people
who lived in those homes...
275
01:01:13,820 --> 01:01:16,914
were the ones that were actually working
and getting paid, per brick...
276
01:01:17,023 --> 01:01:20,288
to take their cities apart.
277
01:02:39,105 --> 01:02:41,733
I want to go back through
to shoot with some different lights.
278
01:02:41,841 --> 01:02:43,900
Yeah, this is spectacular.
Good find, jeff.
279
01:05:03,416 --> 01:05:06,613
This will all be over
in another three weeks or a month.
280
01:05:06,719 --> 01:05:09,517
And it‘s here for the moment, and once
they‘re through this rubble, it‘s finished...
281
01:05:09,622 --> 01:05:11,522
then the water floods it.
282
01:05:11,624 --> 01:05:14,957
So there‘s this crazy, frenetic activity
for the next month or two...
283
01:05:15,061 --> 01:05:17,689
and then it‘s gone forever, so—
284
01:05:37,283 --> 01:05:39,183
Okay.
285
01:05:40,953 --> 01:05:42,853
Okay.
286
01:05:54,333 --> 01:05:56,233
Okay.
287
01:06:04,544 --> 01:06:06,444
Okay.
288
01:06:12,218 --> 01:06:14,550
Well, I think it‘s all— It‘ll be okay.
289
01:06:15,821 --> 01:06:17,789
I need that Polaroid.
290
01:06:30,069 --> 01:06:32,037
Keep working on the shot.
291
01:08:08,234 --> 01:08:11,601
This model has 600 square meters...
292
01:08:11,704 --> 01:08:15,435
in a scale of 1 to 500.
293
01:08:15,541 --> 01:08:18,169
It‘s the biggest of its kind
in the world...
294
01:08:18,277 --> 01:08:20,575
so it set a Guinness record.
295
01:08:21,614 --> 01:08:24,777
The planning
is from 2001 to 2020...
296
01:08:24,884 --> 01:08:26,784
so 20 years‘ planning.
297
01:08:26,886 --> 01:08:29,684
Now we also have 50 years‘ planning.
298
01:08:29,789 --> 01:08:33,816
First we see this blue river
is Huang—p‘u River.
299
01:08:33,926 --> 01:08:36,588
Here, this is Huang—p‘u River.
300
01:08:36,696 --> 01:08:40,757
And in the eastern side
is called Pudong area.
301
01:08:40,866 --> 01:08:42,766
Pudong area.
302
01:08:42,868 --> 01:08:46,861
The western side is called Puxi area.
303
01:08:46,972 --> 01:08:49,236
When Mao finished his reign...
304
01:08:49,341 --> 01:08:52,833
there was 90% agrarian and 10% urban.
305
01:08:52,945 --> 01:08:55,607
Uh, the current idea
coming from Beijing...
306
01:08:55,715 --> 01:09:01,483
is to see it 30% agrarian
and 70% urban...
307
01:09:01,587 --> 01:09:04,852
which, when you look at 1.3 billion—
308
01:09:05,891 --> 01:09:08,689
The urbanization of China...
309
01:09:08,794 --> 01:09:11,763
um, is unprecedented
in the world.
310
01:09:12,932 --> 01:09:14,900
...meters, 88 stories...
311
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:18,197
now the highest building of Shanghai.
312
01:09:18,304 --> 01:09:20,864
This building is under construction.
313
01:09:20,973 --> 01:09:24,306
The name is World Financial Center.
314
01:09:24,410 --> 01:09:26,378
When this building finished...
315
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:29,573
they will have 492 meters...
316
01:09:29,682 --> 01:09:31,650
101 stories.
317
01:09:31,751 --> 01:09:35,619
In the future, they will become
the highest building of Shanghai.
318
01:09:36,722 --> 01:09:40,180
Here is Century Park.
Century Park.
319
01:09:40,292 --> 01:09:44,922
Behind Century Park, we will see
many white, small buildings.
320
01:09:45,030 --> 01:09:47,498
And here is Villa Garden.
Villa area.
321
01:09:49,235 --> 01:09:53,194
One of the things I focused on
in terms of the urbanization of China...
322
01:09:53,305 --> 01:09:57,833
was Shanghai, in that Shanghai
is probably China‘s fastest—growing city.
323
01:09:57,943 --> 01:09:59,877
In the last five years...
324
01:10:06,385 --> 01:10:09,354
And it‘s growing
in this kind of crazy fashion...
325
01:10:09,455 --> 01:10:14,392
in that thousands and thousands
of high—rise dwellings...
326
01:10:14,493 --> 01:10:17,519
are replacing the older,
traditional dwellings...
327
01:10:17,630 --> 01:10:19,598
that were there.
329
01:11:46,252 --> 01:11:50,416
So the garden‘s
about 1,800 square meter.
330
01:11:50,522 --> 01:11:54,151
So I have two gardener
come every day...
331
01:11:54,260 --> 01:11:57,388
to keep these plant all lovely.
332
01:12:02,268 --> 01:12:05,328
Actually, in the evening,
when all this light on the garden...
333
01:12:05,437 --> 01:12:07,632
really look beautiful.
334
01:12:07,740 --> 01:12:09,640
Quiet.
335
01:12:26,759 --> 01:12:30,217
Since I am
in the real estate business...
336
01:12:30,329 --> 01:12:33,696
I visit lots of property...
337
01:12:33,799 --> 01:12:36,097
and...
338
01:12:36,201 --> 01:12:38,169
Shanghai developed really quickly.
339
01:12:38,270 --> 01:12:41,467
Really, I think
the fastest city in the world.
340
01:13:30,089 --> 01:13:32,614
You see this open kitchen here...
341
01:13:32,725 --> 01:13:35,319
actually was my garage.
342
01:13:39,264 --> 01:13:41,698
Originally, this house
looked totally different.
343
01:13:47,973 --> 01:13:49,873
This is the study room.
344
01:13:55,381 --> 01:13:57,349
I spend lots of time here.
345
01:14:02,287 --> 01:14:04,255
This is my favorite bookshelf.
346
01:14:04,356 --> 01:14:07,052
This is antique style.
Chinese antique style.
347
01:14:07,159 --> 01:14:09,889
Red. Red color means happy.
348
01:14:34,586 --> 01:14:37,555
I think the Shanghai city
is, more or less, for the younger people...
349
01:14:37,656 --> 01:14:40,124
younger generation.
350
01:14:54,139 --> 01:14:57,108
Some older generations,
they are not happy...
351
01:14:57,209 --> 01:15:00,201
because they are feeling their hearts
still belong to the old place.
352
01:15:00,312 --> 01:15:02,746
This is everywhere in the world, same.
354
01:15:35,247 --> 01:15:38,774
I bought a property,
um, close by here...
355
01:15:38,884 --> 01:15:40,818
called Xi Zhou Hua Cheng.
356
01:15:40,919 --> 01:15:44,514
And they could not build
the property which they promised us.
357
01:15:44,623 --> 01:15:49,219
The reason was they needed longer time
to convince old lady, you know...
358
01:15:49,328 --> 01:15:52,695
to move just a little bit, maybe...
359
01:15:52,798 --> 01:15:54,766
away from, you know, the area.
360
01:15:54,867 --> 01:15:57,995
Even ten minutes. But she just did not.
361
01:15:58,103 --> 01:16:00,003
It was impossible for her.
362
01:16:18,390 --> 01:16:22,349
The whole community
was knocked down, but this house.
363
01:16:23,395 --> 01:16:25,761
She just didn‘t want to leave.
364
01:18:05,297 --> 01:18:07,765
We are changing
the nature of this planet.
365
01:18:07,866 --> 01:18:10,164
We are changing the air,
we are changing the water...
366
01:18:10,269 --> 01:18:12,237
we are changing the land.
367
01:18:13,639 --> 01:18:16,608
And that‘s just not China.
That‘s the world at large.
368
01:19:10,595 --> 01:19:13,462
There are times
when I have thought about my work...
369
01:19:13,565 --> 01:19:16,659
and putting it into a more
politicized environment.
370
01:19:22,474 --> 01:19:25,841
If I said, “This is a terrible thing
that we‘re doing to the planet“...
371
01:19:25,944 --> 01:19:28,811
then people will either
agree or disagree.
372
01:19:29,848 --> 01:19:31,975
By not saying what you should see...
373
01:19:32,084 --> 01:19:35,520
that may allow them to look at something
that they never looked at...
374
01:19:35,620 --> 01:19:38,214
and to see their world a little differently.
375
01:19:40,525 --> 01:19:42,652
So I think many people today...
376
01:19:42,761 --> 01:19:46,424
sit in that uncomfortable spot...
377
01:19:46,531 --> 01:19:50,228
where, you know, we don‘t necessarily
want to give up what we have...
378
01:19:50,335 --> 01:19:52,929
but we realize what we‘re doing...
379
01:19:53,038 --> 01:19:55,939
is creating problems that run deep.
380
01:20:03,215 --> 01:20:06,241
It‘s not a simple right or wrong.
381
01:20:07,285 --> 01:20:09,583
It needs a whole new way of thinking.
382
00:49:21,975 --> 00:49:24,967
There are lots of coal mines here.
383
00:49:28,982 --> 00:49:33,112
Coal is mined on a large scale
to meet the energy needs of our country,
384
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:36,712
because our economy
is developing very fast.
385
00:49:36,823 --> 00:49:42,489
But it brings some
environmental problems.
386
00:49:44,064 --> 00:49:47,500
Did you just say
that large-scale coal mining
387
00:49:47,634 --> 00:49:52,833
is to meet China's demands
in her economic development?
388
00:49:53,707 --> 00:49:56,642
We came here for that.
389
00:49:57,511 --> 00:50:00,639
l have to let you know
that he's going to publish a book
390
00:50:00,747 --> 00:50:04,148
about the development
of Chinese industry...
391
00:50:06,853 --> 00:50:15,192
and we understand that China
needs a lot of energy for development.
392
00:50:16,229 --> 00:50:18,163
No shooting. No shooting.
393
00:50:18,699 --> 00:50:19,961
He's just taking a picture.
394
00:50:20,100 --> 00:50:21,067
Don't shoot, guys.
395
00:50:22,736 --> 00:50:24,033
- Excuse me.
- Yeah.
396
00:50:24,137 --> 00:50:28,130
As far as I understand,
the problem right now...
397
00:50:28,241 --> 00:50:30,436
- I mean this is my personal idea...
- 0kay.
398
00:50:30,544 --> 00:50:35,811
is that the court itself
has the very regulation
399
00:50:35,983 --> 00:50:41,182
that no media is allowed
to come to this.
400
00:50:41,288 --> 00:50:44,155
No I understand that.
But my understanding is,
Tianjin Harbour Goods Distribution Centre
401
00:50:44,257 --> 00:50:46,020
from Mr. Chendling this morning
402
00:50:46,126 --> 00:50:48,560
- I think, maybe he...
- You know? Yeah, no, no. That's okay.
403
00:50:48,662 --> 00:50:53,827
Maybe Mr. Chendling does not know
that there is a certain regulation that...
404
00:50:56,670 --> 00:50:58,501
I understand it's quite windy today.
405
00:51:00,574 --> 00:51:02,371
It's very dirty, very dirty.
406
00:51:02,609 --> 00:51:04,941
I don't think it's a good day
to make beautiful pictures.
407
00:51:05,445 --> 00:51:08,039
It's very gloomy here.
408
00:51:19,292 --> 00:51:21,192
For example, even this industrial
waste, it's kind of like garbage.
409
00:51:21,294 --> 00:51:25,025
Still it appears beautiful
through his camera.
410
00:51:25,666 --> 00:51:28,191
Take a look at these pictures.
411
00:51:29,636 --> 00:51:33,094
This book is a retrospective
of his past 20 years' work.
412
00:51:35,442 --> 00:51:38,104
Most of the pictures
were taken in Canada.
413
00:51:38,211 --> 00:51:40,202
Here are some pictures of mines.
414
00:51:42,349 --> 00:51:47,981
The book we are making
needs a picture...
415
00:51:50,957 --> 00:51:53,551
Actually, our concern is that it will
cause some negative influence.
416
00:51:54,628 --> 00:51:56,459
Let's just go to the site
and have a look.
417
00:55:39,286 --> 00:55:42,949
Workers, before you go to the site,
418
00:55:43,089 --> 00:55:47,958
please check that you are wearing
safety equipment or proper clothing.
419
00:55:48,628 --> 00:55:52,029
Please check if
there's any potential danger
420
00:55:52,132 --> 00:55:56,034
and if you are clear about today's work.
421
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:08,006
Today's highest temperature:
26 to 27 centigrade; lowest: 15 to 16.
422
00:56:19,159 --> 00:56:20,683
- Old Master? How are you?
- Yes.
423
00:56:20,794 --> 00:56:23,524
- Are you working here?
- Yes.
424
00:56:23,630 --> 00:56:25,894
How about the work? Is it hard?
425
00:56:26,166 --> 00:56:28,600
Of course it's hard.
426
00:56:29,602 --> 00:56:31,593
- 20 Yuan.
- What?
427
00:56:33,673 --> 00:56:35,766
- 20, uh, 30 Yuan.
428
00:56:36,643 --> 00:56:39,271
So, 30 Yuan a day? Oh.
429
00:56:43,316 --> 00:56:45,876
What do you think of this project?
430
00:56:45,986 --> 00:56:50,047
Are you proud of your involvement
on such a huge project?
431
00:56:50,824 --> 00:56:52,951
I'm just a general labourer here.
432
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:56,022
We are just working for our boss,
getting paid here.
433
00:57:00,700 --> 00:57:04,568
We have three shifts a day:
day shift, mid shift and night shift.
434
00:57:04,871 --> 00:57:07,032
How long have you
been working here?
435
00:57:07,273 --> 00:57:08,262
I've been working here nine years.
436
00:57:08,608 --> 00:57:10,633
Nine years? Wow.
437
00:57:11,044 --> 00:57:18,109
It's just work. It's all for our country.
438
00:58:06,933 --> 00:58:11,597
The project was officially launched
on December 14, 1994.
439
00:58:11,938 --> 00:58:16,102
It has been almost ten years.
440
00:58:16,342 --> 00:58:21,871
It will take 17 years to finish,
ending in 2009.
441
00:58:23,216 --> 00:58:30,247
This is the biggest dam
that has ever been made in the world
442
00:58:30,356 --> 00:58:33,757
and probably ever will be made.
443
00:58:33,893 --> 00:58:36,521
There are three main functions
of the dam.
444
00:58:36,629 --> 00:58:39,996
The first is to avoid floods.
That's the most crucial function.
445
00:58:40,100 --> 00:58:43,627
The second
is to generate electricity.
446
00:58:43,770 --> 00:58:46,796
The third
is to improve transportation.
447
00:58:48,875 --> 00:58:50,502
That's it.
448
00:59:04,124 --> 00:59:09,221
The full length of the dam
is 2,309 metres.
449
00:59:10,063 --> 00:59:15,660
There will be
26 generators installed...
450
00:59:16,903 --> 00:59:25,368
as well as 6 underground generators,
as back-up, which makes 32 total.
451
00:59:27,180 --> 00:59:33,813
Each one generates 700,000 kW,
with a total capacity of 22,400,000 kW
452
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:40,917
which supplies 84.7 billion kWh per year.
453
01:00:03,349 --> 01:00:10,255
How many people have to relocate
due to the construction of the dam?
454
01:00:10,823 --> 01:00:17,695
According to the statistics
we got in the 1992 census, 830,000,
455
01:00:17,797 --> 01:00:23,758
but considering population growth,
the actual amount is around 1,100,000.
456
01:00:26,239 --> 01:00:29,106
Are these people content
with their new homes?
457
01:00:30,643 --> 01:00:34,272
Do not ask me this question.
I'm not in charge of this.
458
01:01:18,658 --> 01:01:20,956
Yangtze River Cities,
China, 2002
459
01:06:19,191 --> 01:06:21,921
It's a very broad view.
460
01:06:22,495 --> 01:06:24,759
It's hard to see the details.
461
01:10:57,670 --> 01:11:06,578
Because our country was poor in the
past, people's life standards were low.
462
01:11:08,547 --> 01:11:13,575
Compared with the old city,
the new city has been improved
463
01:11:13,853 --> 01:11:16,378
regarding the scale
and construction quality.
464
01:11:20,059 --> 01:11:27,761
Generally speaking, life quality
has been improved as well.
465
01:11:28,834 --> 01:11:34,636
Because people feel happy
about the fresh environment.
466
01:12:44,076 --> 01:12:45,737
You have so much free time
that you can wash your dog?
467
01:12:52,217 --> 01:12:55,482
These houses were
basically old houses.
468
01:12:55,587 --> 01:13:00,422
We were old neighbours.
We've been neighbours for decades.
469
01:13:02,795 --> 01:13:11,100
My father and mother grew up here...
470
01:13:13,939 --> 01:13:16,703
and I was born here.
471
01:13:17,509 --> 01:13:19,033
I'm more than 60 years old now.
472
01:14:23,175 --> 01:14:26,667
Go further. You will find
an interesting place to shoot.
473
01:15:09,254 --> 01:15:13,850
They came door to door
to persuade you to move, one by one;
474
01:15:14,726 --> 01:15:17,160
sometimes they
deceived people into going.
475
01:15:17,262 --> 01:15:18,889
Sometimes they coaxed them.
476
01:16:04,610 --> 01:16:12,039
Often they beat people up.
One guy here got broken bones.
