Elemental: Reimagine Wildfire FREE Movie Screening & Disaster Preparedness Drive
A Coalition of the Sierra Club Ventura Network, Ventura County Climate Voices, & the Los Padres Forest Watch
Description
An award-winning documentary directed by Trip Jennings that takes viewers on a journey with top experts in the Nation to better understand fire. Elemental takes viewers into the heart of Paradise, California as the town ignites 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 tragedies in recorded history. It then takes us across fire prone communities & uncovers science backed strategies that can protect our homes and save lives.
Narrated by actor David Oyelowo, the film challenges the status quo of current fire suppression standards and commercial logging, and highlights Indigenous knowledge practices.
Following the film, live discussions with the Forest Watch Director of Advocacy and film operations, Ben Pitterle, and a panel of experts, will share their knowledge about local fire ecology and practical steps you can take to protect your home and communities.
