Manufactured Landscapes is a film about and including the jaw-dropping, beautiful international photographs of Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky, along with a bit of thoughtful and thought-provoking commentary. I found the trailer on youtube and added it:
The official site from Mongrel Media is here.
Edward Burtynsky was also a TED (The Technology, Education, Design conference "brings together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes)") speaker and prize winner in 2005. His TED speech is embedded below.
If you do rent, buy, or borrow (I borrowed my copy from the TPL) and view this film, which you absolutely should, then be sure to view the Stills Gallery with Commentary (accessible from the main DVD menu) as it is almost as interesting as the film itself.
