70 min

Grab your bag (of popcorn) and take off on a whirlwind trip to places most Seattle kids never get a chance to see. With these films, you’ll walk through a downpour in Indonesia, stop a rooster fight in Venezuela, climb a mountain in eastern Turkey, ride a bus in Iraq and experience a whole new country for the first time.

 

Galus Galus

A homeless man shows us the city of Caracas and his determination to survive next to his faithful feathered friend.

(Yahya Al-Allaq, Iraq/UK, 2013, live action, 11 min) In Arabic with English subtitles.

A young deaf boy is forced to steal oil to support his family. When he misplaces the oil, he knows he has to find it, fast.

 

On Stopping the Rain

(Aditya Ahmad, Indonesia, 2014, live action, 14 min) In Makassarese with English subtitles.

A girl wants to wear her new shoes, but it won’t stop raining. She takes action by following an old superstition involving a household item.

Notes to parents: One film, On Stopping the Rain, revolves around an Indonesian superstition of tossing your underwear on the roof makes the rain stop. The film also includes limited smoking. War Canister deals with stealing, though for a moral cause.
