FILM DESCRIPTION: Raging, out-of-control wildfires have become part of the new normal around the globe, leaving heartbreaking devastation and death in their wake. In California, this harsh reality was underscored on Nov. 8, 2018, when several parts of the state were ablaze: the Camp Fire was ravaging most of the Northern California town of Paradise, and the Woolsey Fire was roaring through Malibu in the south. In the aftermath, residents face unthinkable loss. As they struggle to rebuild, they debate what could be done to prevent further tragedy.
