The documentary is about native Gum Trees that are dying in Broken Hill, Australia. It asks, "What can the residents of this desert town do to help?" We find out by talking to them.
The idea of talking about global warming and how you can help in your town is a great idea. The fact that it focuses on the trees also makes the film very unique. The camera quality is pretty good although at times it is very shaky. The scenes showing different climates and weather stand out the most. Those really help focus the message of this film. I love at the end when the young narrator talks about what changes people could make and the empowering music playing behind it.
The message is that if we don't do anything then global warming will continue to happen. We must help our planet if we care about it.
I give Broken Trees 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 18.By Kendall B., KIDS FIRST!
