Inspired by the work of the Anthropocene Working Group, an international organization of scientists committed to the study of humanity’s dangerous transformation of the planet since the mid-20th century, Baichwal, de Pencier and Burtynsky’s four-years-in-the-making film is an awe-striking and terrifying record of the scars left on the land by mankind’s rapacity, the final entry in the Anthropocene trilogy, and part of their wider project, which included a touring exhibition, book, and education program.

Q&A with filmmakers Edward Burtynsky, Jennifer Baichwal, and Nicholas de Pencier moderated by New Yorker Journalist Raffi Khatchadourian on Friday, June 20th
