BRING YOUR OWN BRIGADE

Academy Award-nominee Lucy Walker focuses on one day in California’s 2018 megafire season to discover why these infernos are growing more common. Contrasting the experiences of wealthy Malibu in the southern end of the state with middle class Paradise in the north, Walker mixes personal reportage with history to deliver an in-depth understanding. The result, as New York Times critic Manohla Dargis wrote, is “specific and universal, harrowing and hopeful.”
