The horror. The poison. The appalling stinking shit-storm we've created. These words easily come to mind as one witnesses the sorry spectacle that is the Athabasca tar sands from the air. Who needs Antichrist, Shock Troopers, or Apocalypse Now! when we've got our own Canadian hell-in-the-making in our back yard... As the film cannily asks, if we've done this, what will we do next? This is a stunning document that proves that a moving image can reveal space beyond ordinary human perception.
