Death by Design (2016)

　　Consumers love - and live on - their smartphones, tablets and laptops. A cascade of new devices pours endlessly into the market, promising even better communication, non-stop entertainment and instant information. The numbers are staggering. By 2020, four billion people will have a personal computer. Five billion will own a mobile phone. But this revolution has a dark side, hidden from most consumers. In an investigation that spans the globe, filmmaker Sue Williams investigates the underbelly of the electronics industry and reveals how even the smallest devices have deadly environmental and health costs. From the intensely secretive factories in China, to a ravaged New York community and the high tech corridors of Silicon Valley, the film tells a story of environmental degradation, of health tragedies, and the fast approaching tipping point between consumerism and sustainability.<br /> 　　译文(3): 消费者喜欢他们的智能手机、平板电脑和笔记本电脑，并以此为生。一系列新设备源源不断地涌入市场，有望实现更好的通信、不间断的娱乐和即时信息。数字惊人。到2020年，将有40亿人拥有个人电脑。50亿人将拥有一部手机。但这场革命也有阴暗面，对大多数消费者来说是隐藏的。在一项横跨全球的调查中，电影制作人苏·威廉姆斯调查了电子行业的软肋，揭示了即使是最小的设备也会带来致命的环境和健康成本。从中国高度神秘的工厂，到饱受蹂躏的纽约社区和硅谷的高科技走廊，这部电影告诉了一个环境退化、健康悲剧以及消费主义与可持续发展之间快速接近的转折点的故事。
