About Behind Glory Un Documental Wugang

Este é un documental fotográfico de Wugang, a empresa siderúrxica de Wuhan. Apoiado polos rusos e construído en 1958, o estado estatal Wugang é unha das maiores fábricas de aceiro de China e unha vez significou a industrialización e modernización do país. Non obstante, tal industria causa unha grave contaminación ambiental. Ao capturar o campus de Wugang moi contaminado con imaxes sombrías, este proxecto revela o prezo pagado e a consecuencia detrás da gloria da modernización e da prosperidade económica, provocando aos espectadores na procura dun ambiente limpo e saudable.
