All over the globe, catastrophic wildfires are threatening not only our homes and our lives but also the climate and our future. This documentary travels to the US, Canada, Europe, and Asia to follow the work of a dedicated global community of scientists, firefighters, and fire experts as they light experimental fires in laboratories, study the history of our forests, and put under scrutiny the escalating range and impact of the blazes, from hidden smoldering fires deep inside the soil to smoke clouds reaching all the way up into the stratosphere. Why are megafires beyond human control, and what makes them so insatiable? What is our…

All over the globe, catastrophic wildfires are threatening not only our homes and our lives but also the climate and our future. This documentary travels to the US, Canada, Europe, and Asia to follow the work of a dedicated global community of scientists, firefighters, and fire experts as they light experimental fires in laboratories, study the history of our forests, and put under scrutiny the escalating range and impact of the blazes, from hidden smoldering fires deep inside the soil to smoke clouds reaching all the way up into the stratosphere. Why are megafires beyond human control, and what makes them so insatiable? What is our responsibility in causing this crisis? The rediscovery of ancient fire prevention methods - such as traditional burning techniques - as well as large-scale fire experiments designed to find out how to make our communities more fire-resistant paves the way towards possible solutions. How can we learn to live safely with fire in the future?
