Description:

Strip The City uses CGI animation to strip the ‘ice city’ of Toronto naked of its steel, concrete, ocean and rock – layer by layer – to explore the secret technology and infrastructure that keeps it running. Perched on the shores of Lake Ontario, Toronto is a city of extremes. This sprawling metropolis has been carved out by ancient glaciers. Today it is filled with a concrete jungle of towering skyscrapers. Each winter temperatures plummet to an arctic minus 40 degrees and the city is pummelled by savage snowstorms. How did this metropolis grow to become the largest city in Canada in such an extreme environment? This film looks beneath the city’s skin to discover the secret engineering wonders and geological forces that make it possible. <46mn>
