Elemental is a new documentary about wildfire in the drought-prone West. Directed by Trip Jennings, the film brings together respected experts from across the board — firefighters, wildfire survivors, research ecologists, indigenous elders, fire scientists, wildlife ecologists, climate scientists….

Their multi-faceted experience and expertise disproves the rationale used to perpetuate massive expenditures to cut down trees in the name of saving lives, protecting property, and restoring forest health.

Forest thinning has proven to have minimal benefit in protecting lives and property, and Elemental lets viewers know what actually works to protect themselves and their homes. We recommend that you watch it and consider organizing a local screening. It’s that good!
