Beijing Besieged by Waste (2011)
Photographer Wang Jiu-liang travels to more than 500 landfills, fearlessly documenting Beijing's unholy cycle of consumption through poignant observational visits with the scavengers who live and work in the dumps. While China's economic ascent commands global attention, less light has been shed upon the monumental problem of waste spawned by a burgeoning population, booming industry, and insatiable urban growth. Award-winning photographer Wang Jiuliang focuses his lens upon the grim spectacle of waste, excrement, detritus, and rubble unceremoniously piled upon the land surrounding the China's Olympic city, capital, and megalopolis, Beijing.

The Age of Commercialism
good back-story, and good acting
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
