Subject: [1st-mile-nm] Doc. Film: Death by Design

 

An ongoing and growing issue in our complex, globally linked
techno-ecosystem.    RL

 

 

MacArthur Foundation supports documentary films, including Death by Design,
by Sue Williams and colleagues.

 

Examining the global environmental and public health consequences of our
addiction to our digital devices.

Death by Design explores how the manufacturing and disposal of digital
devices have deadly environmental and social costs. From China, where most
devices are made today, to the mountains of California, the hills of New
York State, and the high tech corridors of Silicon Valley - the epicenters
of tech manufacturing in the 1980s and '90s - the film tells underreported
stories of environmental degradation and of serious illnesses linked to an
industry that relies on the theory and practice of planned obsolescence.
What emerges is a look at the interconnectedness of the global manufacturing
economy.
