I did. His stuff is amazing, and so sad to see. People in power make some very terrible decisions. Those photos look like something out of sci-fi movies. The nickel trailings is very scary. JDH
I watched a documentary on a South American country after all the oil companies had finished drilling. They showed ponds and streams that were once full of fish and a source of drinking water, now replaced with a black sludge, 3 feet deep.
I assume the company thought it would have been too expensive to return the area back to its original state. I heard there was a lawsuit pending over it. I forget the country's name now; it may have been Belize.

Wow! I don't know if it is beautiful photography and repulsive reality. I would like to see this film.
That film reminds me of Baraka, Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi and a third film in 'qatsi series.

Hi JDH! I am not aware of the references you make; I'll have to check them out.
Have you checked out the above link, to his personal web site?

Yes, it is like a SF movie, like 'Bladerunner'.

Who knows if it ever will heal.
Is it more shocking they didn't cover it up or bury it?
