ISLAND, THE

The impact of having a four-year-old narrate this film sort of knocked me over.

Ada is a little girl living in a village where it has not rained for a long time. Ada's family is considering leaving the village if lack of water continues to be a problem. Ada is very upset about this and tells us about her village. She visiting a lake that used to be full of water and goes to the island named after her. But she sees that the lake is completely dry, the soil is cracked and there is no water left in it.

This is a very sad story, a sad film, and one that is going on all too often in today's world as the impact of climate change affects us all. Ada and her family, her community, are not alone. Watching her walk across the parched earth, where a lake used to be, is heart wrenching. One asks where all this is leading to.

The film's message is an environment one about the absence of water across the globe.

I give The Island 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 18, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
