The Athabasca tar sands in Alberta are an oil reserve the size of England. Extracting crude oil that lies beneath the unspoiled wilderness requires a massive industrialized effort, effecting catastrophic damages on land, air, water, and climate. Peter Mettler shows us this extraordinary view from above, filming primarily from a helicopter to capture this breathtaking, unparalleled view of the world’s largest industrial, capital and energy project. In a hypnotic flight of image and sound, Mettler explores the clash between industry and earth, and beholds the barren wasteland that is left behind.

Vue du ciel, la terre est un enchevêtrement de forêts, de rivières et d'affluents à perte de vue. Une nature souveraine au-dessus de laquelle plane la caméra. Soudain, une plongée vertigineuse à la manière d'un oiseau de proie, et nous voilà aux portes de l'enfer : une mine de pétrole à ciel ouvert. De visions d'apocalypse en séquences hypnotiques tournées depuis un hélicoptère, Petropolis adopte le point de vue des oiseaux pour réaliser l'autopsie de cette immense blessure. Violée par l'homme, abusée sans remords, la terre filmée par Peter Mettler est une bête à l'agonie.

Britannia was an encyclopaedic tour of the whole country in a single book.
