Michael G Not deep at all and very one sided. kinda makes me wonder who financed the film Insurance industry!?!🤷‍♂️ Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/08/23 Full Review Joe S This is an excellent documentary that anyone concerned about the threat from wildfire should watch. As the editor of Forest News, I frequently write about wildfire, and my articles have cited research from several of the experts interviewed in the film. They are all legit. Elemental raises the question, “Is there anything that can be done to keep communities safe from future fires?” Jack Cohen answers yes: “We have opportunities to prevent the big community fire disasters.... Paradise didn’t have to happen.” The town of Paradise was surrounded by clear-cut and thinned forest. According to the accepted Forest Service narrative, the town should have been safe, yet the town burned and 86 people died. Cohen worked for decades as a research scientist at the Forest Service Missoula Fire Sciences Research Lab, and his research shows how people can protect themselves and their homes from catastrophic wildfire. Firefighters, ecologists and Tribal leaders featured in the film speak from multiple backgrounds and perspectives. They all point to the same conclusion: we can't stop catastrophic wildfires, but we can protect ourselves, our neighbors and our communities from devastating wildfire. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/23 Full Review Molly S This is a beautifully done doc on the big issue of wildfires and forest management. It's emotional and engrossing, visually rich and dense. I can only hope that informative films like this can effect real change in how America chooses to manage and care for its natural resources and its people. Kudos to Trip Jennings and the film crew. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/03/23 Full Review Ralph B Stunning, thought-provoking and informative. Incredible time lapse and wildlife photography. Now I know what I need to do to prepare for fire and keep my home and community safe. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/18/23 Full Review Sarah S Excellent film explaining why we have so many more wildfires now and what we can do to keep people and their property safe. Great footage and great interviews with people who lived through the Paradise Fire, fire fighters, insurance experts, scientists, and indigenous people who understand how to live with fire. A must see film for those who live in fire-prone areas or are curious to know what can be done to prevent the billions of dollars worth of damage that wildfires can cause . Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/17/23 Full Review Rachel A I had the opportunity to watch a screening of this film at the non-profit I worked at and it left me speechless. I have not been able to stop thinking about it ever since. Not only does it show the very real dangers of wildfire and the havoc it wreaks on communities, wildlife, and the environment, but it will leave you feeling like there's a light at the end of the tunnel too. This film gave me a little glimmer of hope in this dire climate crisis! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
