Behemoth

From acclaimed filmmaker Zhao Liang comes the mesmerizing Behemoth. Poetic and understated, this stunningly photographed documentary begins with a mining explosion in Mongolia and ends with the hollow promise of a ghost city west of Beijing. In one haunting sequence after another, it reveals the human and environmental costs of coal mining and consumption in China.

This film is part of the Global Watch 2018: Crisis & Social Action series.
