The Three Gorges Dam will become world's largest when completed in 2009. This powerful, epic cinematic poem incisively captures the surging waves of time through the changing circumstances of people and towns whose futures lie beneath a deluge of water.

 A pastoral farming village in The Netherlands. People and animals, trees and rivers all flow in abundance and in their own time.  Seven years of scenes from this hamlet have been etched into film with a limpid cinematic sesibility.  
Meanwhile, at a demolition site in northern India, a tanker splits open into two. Shattering into pieces by a hammer, melting into flame, the beauty of this very human act is captured in Hammer and Flame.
