About the event
Join us for a thought-provoking evening at the SJI Grange on Friday, May 10th, at 7 PM for a FREE film screening of "Elemental: Reimagine Wildfire."
Directed by Trip Jennings, this 84-minute documentary delves into the pressing question: Can homes, communities, healthy forests, and fire coexist? In the wake of devastating fires that have swept across the nation, "Elemental" offers a vital exploration into reimagining our relationship with wildfire to ensure the safety of our homes and communities.
Filmed across the Western United States, the documentary takes viewers on a journey alongside top experts as they seek to understand fire dynamics. From the heart-wrenching escape from Paradise, California, to the ancient practices of Native Americans who have long understood fire's role in nature, the film offers insights that are both timely and urgent.
Discover how indigenous fire management practices can benefit nature and increase community safety, learn about the impact of climate change on forests, and hear firsthand accounts from survivors of deadly fires. "Elemental: Reimagine Wildfire" prompts us to rethink our approach to wildfire management and inspires hope for a future where humans and nature can thrive together.
Don't miss this opportunity to engage with important issues and join the conversation about wildfire resilience. Admission is free, so bring your friends and family for an evening of enlightenment and inspiration.
A live stream Q&A with Executive Producer Ralph Bloemers will follow the screening.
