This documentary follows the construction of a gigantic marine life sanctuary in China: a glass and metal structure that can hold a 100-million-litre ocean. Ocean Kingdom, the world’s biggest aquarium, is on the island of Hengqin, next to Macao. There is not a single place that resembles this dream factory, in terms of construction site size, architectural type or scale, number of marine species on show or in estimated volume of visitors.
