About Behind Glory En Wugang-Dokumentär

Detta är en fotografisk dokumentär av Wugang, Wuhan Iron and Steel Company. Med stöd av ryssarna och byggdes 1958 är den statligt ägda Wugang en av de största stålfabrikerna i Kina och betecknade en gång landets industrialisering och modernisering. En sådan industri orsakar dock allvarlig miljöföroreningar. Genom att fånga det starkt förorenade Wugang-campuset med dystra bilder, avslöjar detta projekt det betalda priset och konsekvensen bakom moderniseringens och ekonomiska välståndens glans, och provocerar tittarna i jakten på en ren och hälsosam miljö.
