Fledgling by Juliette Rogasik Sheds Light on the Plight of Child Refugees

על ידי: Jailene Kontz

In societies far away from war, it can be easy to forget about the millions of people trying to escape the horrors happening in their own countries. With many families becoming refugees at the hands of war, millions of children also become refugees. These children live in a tough world that no child should have to deal with.

גוֹזָל, a film by Juliette Rogasik, offers a relatable story of a little boy trying to find comfort in his difficult situation. Although the people around him can see that the ‘birdhe found is a piece of garbage, they leave it be because they know that it is bringing him joy. The director holds the audience’s attention and then breaks their heart by revealing it as a bird only at the very end. Once the audience realizes that the friend the boy made was just a result of his terrible surroundings, it invokes feelings of sadness.

This short film has well-made animation and voiceover throughout the video. Each scene keeps the audience engaged. The film overall makes the audience think and feel compelled to do something about the growing problem of child refugees.

I give this film a rating of 5 מתוך 5.
