Synopsis

From concrete seawalls in China that now cover 60% of the mainland coast, to the biggest terrestrial machines ever built in Germany, to psychedelic potash mines in Russia’s Ural Mountains, to metal festivals in the closed city of Norilsk, to the devastated Great Barrier Reef in Australia and massive marble quarries in Carrara, the filmmakers have traversed the globe using high-end production values and state of the art camera techniques to document the evidence and experience of human planetary domination.At the intersection of art and science, Anthropocene witnesses, in an experiential and non-didactic sense, a critical moment in geological history—bringing a provocative and unforgettable experience of our species’ breadth and impact.
