Its got a lot of heart and a lot of filosophy especially in the last third of it, the first half is just a thunderroar of action between the paradise fire and malibu fires of 2018 that devastated whole communities, and took the management and urban planners with their pantyhoses pretty far down, and made an abrubt wake up scream for the political foras and governmental hallways farther east. What they have done after that is pure impertinentic overswellin svada about heroism and making major forest industry even richer due to ''fell them all'' policy, instead of clear the brush and slash and heavy litter by low intensity methods, done by a workforce that must be a tenfold of todays numbers of employees. Ive observed that some of the lowpaid ones are due to get a larger paycheck this season, and even more if staying put till the end of the years last fire and that is a start, but will they do more than that ? Make forestry management a profitable alternative for green lovers and buy a couple millions of goats and wildsheep then a vast part of the brush problem wouldve been solved. Pay the heardsmen for the job, and youll have even more people employed and out of social security payrolls., and youll have milions of pounds and gallons of meat and milk on top of that too... well that was a large digression made by a grumpy old man.
Its a lovely and beautiful production, well edited and narrated, the filming at times awesome, and its all done by an immigrant with a different view of the topic. So you will not loose 2 hours of yourlife if watching this documentary, but not so extremely much wiser you wont get.
Its a should see movie by the douptful crowd, and a must see for all schoolchildren of the united states that may turn the direction on the compass towards a sound and healthy natural environment management in the future, so come on baby light my fire, cause fire is your friend if used in a friendly way.
