Award-winning directors Nova Ami and Velc row Ripper weave together immersive on-the-ground footage with first-perso n accounts from Indigenous Elders\, first responders\, and ordinary people forced to react to a rapidly evolving ecosystem. As climate change conti nues to escalate\, full suppression measures have largely failed\, leading to bigger\, more intense mega-fires. But there is another way. Indigenous knowledge keepers explain that the First Nations people traditionally use d controlled burns to regenerate the land. Honouring the experience of bot h human and non-human inhabitants\, the film transforms our understanding of fire from destruction and disaster into a kind of profound illuminatio n\, lighting the way towards new life and hope.\n\nTrailer: https://youtu. be/e17xBip25Xs\n\n \;\n\nNo pre-registration is required. All are welc ome. This screening is free with donations gratefully accepted.\n\nThe scr eening will take place in Lecture Theater (PL107) at Okanagan College Pent icton Campus.\n\nFor more information\, contact info@firstthingsfirstokana gan.com or (604) 831-5023.
