About “Elemental: Reimagine Wildfire”
Filmed across the West and narrated by Golden Globe and Emmy nominated actor David Oyelowo, “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. 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.
“Elemental: Reimagine Wildfire” includes the voices of climate experts, Indigenous people and fire survivors, and asks us to reimagine our relationship with wildfire as we prepare for an increasingly hotter future.
Following the May 31 screening of the film, we will host a panel discussion featuring Trip Jennings, the film’s director; Elizabeth Azzuz, Yurok Tribe member and treasurer of the Cultural Fire Management Council; Rick O’Rourke, Yurok Tribe member and cultural fire practitioner; and Emily Schlickman, UC Davis assistant professor of landscape architecture and environmental design.
