“Amazonia” is a "desktop cinema" essay on one of the key sites where the virtual world of e-commerce transforms physical space—and physical labor: the Amazon.com fulfillment centers where the millions of items available for purchase with the click of a mouse await our orders. The film visits the four cities where Amazon’s four original fulfillment centers were located to meditate on the impacts of our online purchases on the people and places “at the other end of the internet.”
