The Bum Family are a group of Calgarian cousins - Maezy, Medina, and Zaiyah Dennie and Berlin, Ocean, and Sol Demuth - who create anarchy, hilarity and art. Films showing are: Lilly and the Baby, Lilly Goes Fishing, Lilly Goes to the Dogs, and Pollution Solution.
This short documentary explores what people are doing about pollution. Made by a group of 6 young cousins who fear the world is ending due to human activity. By asking people how they address the pollution crisis in their everyday lives, and using animation to illustrate the responses, the filmmakers hope to inspire viewers to do their part in solving the pollution solution.
Juror comments: Pollution Solution is a youth-produced documentary that tackles the views of young people who express their concerns about what is not being done to tackle pollution globally.
This documentary is made by one of my favorite producers, the Bum Family – a group of 6 cousins from Canada. The views expressed here range from distress to optimism. The camera work is well done; it’s enhanced by little animations which add to not just the visual impact but offer a sub-context at the same time. The kids express solution ideas and, in that way, is very positive. For teens that are aware, this gives them inspiring ideas of how they can contribute to solving the problem.
The message is to wake up, acknowledge the dangers to the Earth and become proactive.
I give Pollution Solution 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 10 to 18 plus adults. Reviewed by Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
