Insel von Jean Charles is a devastating documentary showing the effects that rising sea levels and hurricanes have had on a coastal community. In this 8-minute short, Uns wird die Isle de Jean Charles gezeigt, an island off the coast of Southern Louisiana.
Regie Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee, Insel von Jean Charles gibt den Zuschauern einen Einblick, wie drastisch sich die Insel seit den 1970er Jahren verändert hat. Als Isle de Jean Charles ansässig, Edison Dardar, grew up on the island, there were around 300 homes. Today there are only 20 homes left on the island. It was eye-opening to hear from two Isle de Jean Charles residents about the changes that occur on the island every time a hurricane passes through. They explain that each time they must evacuate. After the storm, many residents cannot return to the island because their homes have been demolished.
Am Ende des Films, we learn that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has analyzed the island but there are no plans to build a levee system. Without a levee system, the island is in danger of falling into the sea. I recommend this film to everyone to better understand the lives of others living in situations such as this one.
I rate this short documentary 4 von 5 Sterne.
