Friday, November 10th, 2023: FIRE TENDER & Elemental: Reimagining Wildfire
FIRE TENDER tells the story of Yurok tribal members returning to traditional fire ways. Led by Yurok women, and told from the perspective of Margo’s multigenerational family, FIRE TENDER explores how the silencing of Indigenous voices has left a scar on the land and suppressed opportunities for new growth—both on the forest floor and for those committed to the protection of Mother Earth. 27 minutes.

 

Elemental: Reimagining Wildfire 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.
