Recommended for age 8 and older. This award-winning film from Northern Ireland was enthusiastically received by both children and adults at Chicago's International Festival of Children's Films. "Ten-year-old Paula D'Arcy's world is 'The Glen,' a piece of overgrown wasteland at the back of her house in the Belfast suburbs. To the local children it is a valley with a stream for catching newts and sticklebacks, with wooded slopes which provide a thousand hiding places. When the glen is threatened by planners, Paula and her friends decide to fight, and hoist the conservationist flag with hilarious results.... Set against the background of a city embroiled in a very different conflict, the children's unconventional fight to save their little patch of green gives a new and refreshing view of Ireland...."
