Filmed across the West Elemental: Reimagine Wildfire 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. In the wake of destructive fires across the nation, the film focuses on how we can all reimagine our relationship with wildfire and keep our homes and communities safe.  The solutions are now timelier and more urgent than ever. 

We learn how Native Americans employ fire, benefitting nature and increasing community safety, as they have for thousands of years. We follow researchers studying the effects of climate on forests and the role forests play in storing vast amounts of carbon. We listen to survivors of deadly fires, underscoring the importance of this quest.
