The film takes viewers on a journey with the top experts in the nation to better understand fire. We follow the harrowing escape from Paradise, California as the town ignited from wind-driven embers and burned within a few hours of the fire’s start. We learn from First Peoples as they employ fire to benefit nature and increase community safety as they have for thousands of years. We follow researchers who work to understand the effects of climate on forests and the crucial role that natural forests play in storing vast amounts of carbon. Directed by Trip Jennings.
