About Behind Glory Dokumenter Wugang

Ini adalah film dokumenter fotografi Wugang, Perusahaan Besi dan Baja Wuhan. Didukung oleh Rusia dan dibangun pada tahun 1958, Wugang milik negara adalah salah satu pabrik baja terbesar di China dan pernah menandai industrialisasi dan modernisasi negara tersebut. Namun, industri tersebut menyebabkan pencemaran lingkungan yang parah. Dengan mengabadikan kampus Wugang yang sangat tercemar dengan gambar-gambar yang suram, proyek ini mengungkap harga yang harus dibayar dan konsekuensi di balik kejayaan modernisasi dan kemakmuran ekonomi, yang memprovokasi pemirsa untuk mencari lingkungan yang bersih dan sehat.
