Lucy Walker Asks Hard Questions About Wildfires
(Recorded September 2021) British documentarian Lucy Walker is asking big questions with her latest film, Bring Your Own Brigade. Specifically, why are there more catastrophic wildfires worldwide, and what could mitigate the destruction? Her gripping film focuses on real people impacted by two 2018 California wildfires, \u201cThe Camp Fire,\u201d which killed 85 and nearly destroyed the town of Paradise, and \u201cThe Woolsey Fire,\u201d\xa0which devastated parts of Malibu. Lucy\u2019s camera takes you from the horror of people struggling to escape the wildfires to disbelief as residents reject steps that could limit future destruction. Lucy Walker\u2019s other films include The Crash Reel, Countdown to Zero, Waste Land, Blindsight, and Devil\u2019s Playground.
