Filmmaker Ondi Timoner (“We Live in Public”, “Last Flight Home”) returns to the podcast to discuss her latest work of non-fiction, “All The Walls Came Down”. I also welcome back one of the film’s subjects, Heavenly Hughes, who is a founder of the organization My Tribe Rise.

The film had its world premiere at the 52nd Telluride Film Festival on August 31, 2025. It was shortlisted for the Best Documentary Short Film at the 98th Academy Awards. Timoner processes her shock and grief by picking up a camera after losing her family home in Los Angeles’ Eaton Fire in 2025. The result is “All The Walls Came Down”, a personal story of her community, ravaged by climate catastrophe, and the remarkable resilience that rallies in its wake.
