‘Control the water…and you control everything!’ are the words that echo throughout this animated story about a dry desolate desert town known as ‘Dirt’.
Rango, a pet chameleon, becomes Sheriff of Dirt and learns that its residents have to queue up every Wednesday to get water from a single controlled source.
But one day the tap runs dry and the town goes into panic; Sheriff Rango starts his investigation.
This is a riveting tale about water management, all about saving townsfolk from thirst and thugs by delivering good, old-fashioned justice, Wild West style.
What opportunities and mechanisms exist in your community to promote water management, conservation, and climate resilience?
Siera Javras at Montclair State University, USA, developed a thesis on the movie titled “A Film of Many Colors: Neoliberalism, Capitalism, and Climate Change in Rango.”
The thesis suggests that although it has gone largely unnoticed by ecocritics, Rango is undeniably a film dealing with climate change and the dominating forces contributing to it and is especially pertinent given our position in what has been considered the current Anthropocene era.
