From the US, UK, Germany, Malta, Turkey, and China, animation and live-action shorts for kids who care about our planet. 

Follow Arya to Epping Forest and find out why trees are so important and what you can do to help reduce pollution and look after the natural world.


Juror comments: I fell in love with the host of this show, Arya from the opening shot. She is a young girl and yet, her message is ageless.


Seven-year-old Arya hosts a beautiful live-action short film showing how much she loves the outdoors and trees in particular.

The camera work on this film is outstanding, from the lovely landscapes to the close-ups of Arya telling us how much she loves the natural world and how people can help control pollution and create clean air. Her smart and articulate message comes from the heart and is a lesson that children and adults can both benefit from.


The message is simply about controlling pollution so that we have clean air to breathe.


I give Clean Air 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 12, plus adults. Reviewed by Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
