"The town of Paradise is basically ash." National Geographic has revealed an official trailer for a doc film titled Rebuilding Paradise, which first premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. It also recently played at AFI Docs, and it next screens at the Edinburgh Film Festival. Ron Howard directs this documentary about the community of Paradise, California, a town in the Sierra Nevada foothills, which was devastated in a horrible fire that killed 85 people and destroyed 95% of local structures. Described as a story of resilience in the face of tragedy. "From the moment the crisis began, Oscar-winning director Ron Howard led a filmmaking team to the city and would go on to spend a year with Paradise residents, documenting their efforts to recover what was lost. The Camp Fire and its overwhelming aftermath became a de facto lesson in what we all must do: Protect our environment, help our neighbors, plan for future dangers and remember to preserve the traditions that unite us — just as these resilient citizens did." Sounds damn good. ›››
