MARTA, AISHA, AND THE VOLCANO

Young children are more adaptable to life's crisis than adults and this short documentary shows how these two nine-year-olds remember the volcano eruption that occurred on the island of La Palma, where they live.

This simple documentary offers a reflection by two young girls on the volcano eruption they experienced in 2021 when their grandparents' home was destroyed.

I found their discussion to be self reflecting, especially in the drawings that they make showing the volcano erupting. It must have been terrifying, yet somehow, they are able to revisit it without remorse. This is well produced with good camera work, audio recording and editing.

I give Marta, Aisha, and the Volcano 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend this for ages 8 to 12. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!

"Marta, Aisha and the Volcano" portrays the friendship of two young girls who experienced the volcanic eruption in La Palma, Canary Islands, in 2021. Through their eyes, and in a poetic way, the documentary short film evokes the power of nature and human resilience in the face of loss and uncertainty.
