2 Amazing Storytellers

The Doc is definitely worth the watch . The editing and compassion in this film is the best. Gary and Joel go above and beyond what any of our mainstream journalists could ever do . Thanks for bringing this situation to the attention of the American people in no other way anyone else could. Please continue more produce more investigative journalism . Joel's editing talent is the best . Gary shows a truly human side that should be shown by more journalists . This an honest and unbiased look at the Fires that never should have happened in a nation as strong as ours. Keep up the great work !!!!!!!!!

Great journalism on display

Gary & Joel shed their normal extraordinary circumstances and potential debauchery to show a truthful, nearly-uncensored (can't show everyone's faces all the time) journey into the 2025 LA Area Wildfires. They mobilize from Texas and seemingly beat FEMA from getting to the area. They get information from those in the area that have been directly affected, indirectly affected, trying to help others, and all in between. Their camera and microphone capture real takes from the people living in the area, not some press conference with teleprompters and scripts. Very well done documentary about a crazy current event.
