The Butterfly Effect, a short film by Kate Boylan-Ascione, serves as a reminder of the “Butterfly Effect” that climate change has on nature other than our rainforests. The short film’s primary focus is butterflies at a Butterfly Ranch in Cayo, Belize, which is determined to preserve the natural world to the best of its ability.
Deforestation is a major contributor to climate change, which, as the title of the short film implies, has repercussions beyond our rainforests. Plants dry out when there is no rain for an extended period of time, which can lead to the extinction of certain butterfly species, such as the Uranus Owl discussed in the short film.
The short film reminds us of the importance of preserving the natural world, something that can be done effectively by educating children early on, as they will grow up with a better understanding and be able to pass the knowledge on.
I found the short film particularly intriguing because I was familiar with the “Butterfly Effect,” which piqued my interest prior to watching the short film. Obviously, the video isn’t exactly about what I expected, but I was pleased with how the title relates to the video, in that it’s about butterflies while conveying the message that climate change has far-reaching effects.
I would rate this short film 4.5 out of 5 stars.
