My guest today is Academy and Emmy Award-winning documentary producer and filmmaker Eva Orner. She talks with me about her latest movie, Burning, an unflinching look at the Black Summer, the epic Australian bushfires of 2019 and 2020 that torched 50 million acres of land, destroyed countless homes, and killed hundreds of thousands of animals, including 60,000 koalas.
