Jean-Albert Lievre\, 2023\, France\, 82min\nNarrated by Jean Dujardin\nIn French with English subtitles\nRecommended for ages 6+ \nIn this stunning documentary\, director Jean-Albert LiĆØvre follows the plight of a beached humpback whale through dual perspectivesā€”a young girl and the whale itself. The narrative unfolds alongside interviews with myriad experts and incredible underwater footage of whales in their natural environment\, emphasizing the intelligence\, community\, and ecological role of these gentle giantsā€”and the toll that humans take on them. Both a poetic homage to Heathcote Williamsā€™ book Whale Nation and a rallying cry\, urging viewers to consider the effects of their actions\, both big and small\, positive and negative. \nLā€™Alliance New York is an independent\, not-for-profit organization. Its Montclair Campus was established in 2008 as the Montclair Branch of the French Institute Alliance FranƧaise (FIAF Montclair). Initially focused on offering French language classes for all ages\, from toddlers to adults\, the campus has grown to include a variety of cultural and social events. In 2024\, the Montclair Campus became home to Lā€™Alliance Preschool\, a full-time French immersion program for toddlers (ages 2 Ā½ to 5).
