TWO-TIME OSCAR-NOMINATED FILMMAKER LUCY WALKER CAPTURES THE HEROISM AND HORROR OF THE DEADLIEST WEEK OF CALIFORNIA'S WILDFIRES.

Why are catastrophic wildfires increasing in number and severity around the world, and can anything be done to lessen the staggering death and destruction they cause? Drawing on hundreds of hours of astonishing wildfire footage and featuring interviews with survivors, firefighters and scientists, the film reveals that short of solving global warming there are numerous, often simple steps that can be taken to not only mitigate the catastrophic devastation caused by wildfires, but restore health and balance to woodlands that have been mismanaged for far too long.
