- Summary:
- In the last generation, we have changed the face of the Earth on a scale unimaginable to our ancestors. Villages in China have been transformed into cities of millions, the tallest building in the world dwarfs the skyscrapers of America, and we have built a dam so big that it has changed the rotation of the planet. Now, this astonishing transformation is charted in an awe- inspiring series. Using state-of-the-art visuals, three films showcase the extraordinary engineering, construction and farming ingenuity that is transforming Earth, propelling us into a new era in this planet´s - and our own - history.
