Dark Clouds

Nothing is going on!

A metaphor for acid rain.

Synopsis

An acid rain devastates nature.

Film commentary: Dark Clouds

A very nice metaphor, an opportunity to explain to children the phenomenon of acid rain.

Acid rain is one of the consequences of air pollution from the use of sulphur-rich fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas; factories, heating and road traffic are the main causes.
The disastrous effects on biodiversity are numerous. Increased acidity of soils and rivers endangers many animals and plants lose the mineral nutrients they need to thrive.
