From the airplane into the fire.

Experience a wildfire from the point of view of a smokejumper. See its destructive power and learn what it feels like to be pinned down under a wall of flame – your life held hostage by the fire.

A sweeping look at wildfire in North America and its environmental consequences. Verité camera-work with science and natural history sequences, animation and archival footage create the ultimate picture of a nation on fire–from the swamps of the Florida Everglades to the old-growth forests of the Rocky Mountains.
