Part of Tuesday Wonders
Part of Our Land
An extraordinary journey through the material that makes up our habitat: concrete, and its ancestor, stone. Filmmaker Victor Kossakovsky (Gunda, Aquarela) captures astonishing images, from the ancient temple ruins of Baalbek in Lebanon to the recent destruction of cities in Turkey following a seismic earthquake, to reflect on the rise and fall of civilisations and raises a fundamental question: how do we inhabit the world of tomorrow?
