All over the globe, catastrophic wildfires are threatening not only our homes and our lives, but also the climate and our future. This documentary travels to the US, Canada, Europe, and Asia to follow the work of a dedicated global community of scientists, firefighters and fire experts as they light experimental fires in laboratories, study the history of our forests and put under scrutiny the escalating range and impact of the blazes, from hidden smoldering fires deep inside the soil to smoke clouds reaching all the way up into the stratosphere. Why are megafires beyond human control and what makes them so insatiable? What is our part of the responsibility in causing this crisis?
United Nations Association Film Festival presents Megafires: Investigating a Global Threat Thursday evening at Rinconada Library. See the trailer for this 93-minute documentary made by Belgian, French and Japanese filmmakers here:
