On the morning of Nov. 8, 2018, a spark from a transmission line in Northern California, coupled with climate-impacted conditions, quickly grew into a devastating firestorm that engulfed the picturesque city of Paradise, California. By the time the Camp Fire was extinguished, it had killed 85 people, displaced 50,000 residents and destroyed 95% of local structures. From the moment the crisis began, Oscar-winning director Ron Howard (A BEAUTIFUL MIND, APOLLO 13) led a filmmaking team to the city and would spend a year with Paradise residents, documenting their efforts to recover what was lost. The community members went on to forge a bond stronger than what they had before the catastrophe, even as their hope and spirit were challenged by continued adversity: relocations, financial crises, government hurdles, water poisoning, grief and PTSD.
