Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind

About
Long after industrial civilization collapsed, humanity clings to the edges of a spreading toxic jungle patrolled by giant insects. Nausicaä, the young princess of a small windswept valley, moves through this hostile world with rare empathy, but when a militaristic neighbor unearths a weapon from the old age and war reignites, she's forced to stand between two peoples bent on mutual destruction. It's a story about choosing understanding over vengeance when everyone around you has already picked a side.
