Mined, extracted, and woven, asbestos was the magic mineral. Towns became cities under its patronage, Persian kings entertained guests with its fireproof nature, and centuries of industry raked in the profits of its global application. We now live in the remains of this toxic dream, a dream that with the invention of electron microscopes revealed our material history as a disaster in the waiting.
Asbestos was directed by Sasha Litvintseva and Graeme Arnfield.
Asbestos runs for 20min, and was released in 2017.
