Global Warning (Manufactured Landscapes/A Crude Awakening/The Refugees of the Blue Planet) (Boxset)

Global Warning
-Manufactured Landscapes:
Edward Burtynsky is internationally acclaimed for
his large-scale photographs of nature transformed
by industry. Manufactured Landscapes - a stunning
documentary by award winning director Jennifer
Baichwal â? follows Burtynsky to China, as he
captures the effects of the countryâ??s massive
industrial revolution. This remarkable film leads
us to meditate on human endeavour and its impact
on the planet
-A Crude Awakening:
In A Crude Awakening, our civilizationâ??s
addition to oil puts it on a collision course with
disaster. Compelling, intelligent, and highly
disturbing, the film visits with the worldâ??s top
experts and comes to a startling but logical
conclusion â? our industrial society, built on
cheap and readily available oil, must be
completely re-imagined and overhauled.The worldâ
??s oil supplies are peaking and the crisis of
global shortage looms; we are running out of oil,
and we donâ??t have a plan.
-The Refugees of the Blue Planet
The Refugees of the Blue Planet unveils the way
widespread destruction from more frequently-
occurring natural disasters has caused the number
of environmental refugees (25 million) to
outnumber â? for the first time in history â?
those fleeing from war or political persecution
(23 million).
