Burned to the Ground
The small village of Lytton in British Columbia hit the global media when it smashed Canada's highest temperature record in June 2021, at 49.6C. Two days later, a wildfire burned the entire village to the ground. In the ashes of their homes, this cohesive but diverse community, which includes a majority of First Nations people, had to confront the realities of climate displacement by being relocated away from their ancestral lands. Through the stories of three residents we find a community searching for answers while relying on a collective spirit to heal

Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Fresh and Exciting
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
