ELEMENTAL: REIMAGINE WILDFIRE (84 minutes)

Filmed across the West and narrated by Golden Globe and Emmy nominated
actor David Oyelowo, ELEMENTAL: REIMAGINE WILDFIRE (84 min) takes viewers
on a journey with the top experts in the nation to better understand fire.
The film follows 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. It then continues to the even more recent fires of the last two
years, when Oregon, California and Colorado suffered their worst wildfires
in recorded history.

ELEMENTAL: REIMAGINE WILDFIRE includes the voices of climate experts,
Indigenous people and fire survivors, and asks us to reimagine our
relationship with wildfire as we prepare for an increasingly hotter future.
Former United States Forest Service Chief Michael Dombeck says of the
documentary:

”Elemental is an outstanding film that deserves the widest possible
viewing. In a visually stunning manner, it distills what we’ve learned
about wildland fire over the decades and provides a road-map for badly
needed changes that will benefit thousands of people, particularly in fire
prone communities.”

In the wake of destructive fires across the nation, ELEMENTAL: REIMAGINE
WILDFIRE is an important look at discovering how we can all reimagine our
relationship with wildfire, and keep our homes and communities safe.  The
solutions are now more timely and urgent than ever.
