China "cancer village" pays ultimate price for growth
In short it is about how an area that used to be an expanse of farmland and small rural villages, is now over run with noxious and cancerous pollution from surrounding factories. Now 1 in 50 people (even children as young as 7) in the area are being diagnosed with various cancers in a place where 30 years ago cancer was unheard of.
It is really sad the extremes people are doing to the environment, and in turn affecting human health.
