Edward Burtynsky's journey takes him to vast industrial landscapes, including toxic waste dumps, massive factories in China, and a ship-breaking yard in Bangladesh. He captures the stark contrasts between the rapid development of Shanghai, where wealth and poverty coexist, and the labor-intensive processes of workers, including women and children, in China's factories.
