Excellent... would love to hear about more such films..
We are working on hosting an international conference of steel cities (both past, present and future) sometime in 2008 and these kinds of films would be a great addition.

Michael:
I've seen the film. I don't have a systematic set of thoughts but rather
an anecdote. There's a sequence further into the film where workers are
breaking apart old oil tankers in Bangladesh. This is the photographing
that Burtinsky became renowned for. At one point, the narrator (or Edward
Burtinsky - I can't remember) says, "there's no one over 33 working here."
That's a pretty stark SDOH "aha". I thought the film was definitely worth
seeing, from a variety of perspectives - as a photographic project, too,
and how Burtinsky has chosen to present his work (in terms of how we
communicate SDOH messages to the public).
Have fun.

Hey folks,
Just an informal poll, to shake things up just a bit:
Has anyone on this ListServ seen the film "Manufactured Landscapes"?
If so - any thoughts that you'd be willing to share on it from an SDOH
perspective?
I have a copy that I'm looking forward to seeing, but I was hoping that the
list members might point out a few observations to look out for that would
be indicators that we're all fascinated by...
I haven't viewed the whole documentary yet - but I did watch the 5-8 minute
opening sequence where there is a long uninterrupted pan of the inside of a
Chinese factory. The scene was astounding - it seemed like miles of
warehouse floor under one roof. It made me wonder about the social
conditions associated with this sort of workplace.
I was hoping to hear some thoughts about these sorts of working conditions
and gain some professional/academic perspective with which to watch the
film.
Have a look at the link, and the comments provided by past viewers.
http://imdb.com/title/tt0832903/
Cheers,
Michael
