Nature Needs You, 现在在Planet Classroom Network YouTube频道上放映, is a nine-minute short film that shares the story of people in different communities coming together with one goal in mind: taking care of the planet.
As we learn from the film’s trailer, the Australian lifestyle is dependent on access to land, 干净的水, and healthy food. The story centers around 5 local leaders across Australia who are standing their ground to protect their communities against industrial resource development. This is both a call to action and an informative documentary that will make anyone take a second to think about how they might protect and secure their own environment.
Mark Pearce is the director, 作家, and producer of the film which has garnered a number of international film awards from Portugal, 澳大利亚, 和美国, including the 2019 Winner of Best Call to Action Film (Sustainability Awards, Illinois, 美国).
Pearce takes the viewer into each of the different environments and lets each leader speak individually about the issue they are focused on. He showcases the beauty of his home country with up-close shots of the different environments that draw us in so that we see first-hand what each person is experiencing. Towards the end of the film, he pulls together the natural and cultural threads from each person’s story to focus on the key goal – taking care of the environment.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching the film overall. It was easy to follow as well as being informative about why people are committed to the land. There’s a cause and effect when we disturb the planet and the film also informs us of the different ways we can help to protect it. Nature Needs You is something that all ages could watch and enjoy, more specifically, any high school student studying the environment.
