As we head into fire season, I wanted to revisit an episode from last year about an amazing documentary film called Elemental: Reimagine Wildfire.

After a nationwide theatrical release and over a dozen awards, Elemental has just come out on streaming on Amazon, Apple TV, Google play, and Vimeo.  

Fire is, and always has been, a permanent part of our western landscapes and ecosystems, but the debate and policy prescriptions around how to protect our communities is shockingly disconnected from the science and and on the ground reality.  

On this episode, we spoke with the director of  “Elemental: Reimagine Wildfire” to learn about the realities of how we can co-exist with wildfires.  

Trip Jennings is the Principal & Founder of Balance Media, a National Geographic Adventurer of the Year, and has won dozens of awards for his past films.  His new film, ‘Elemental’, has been met with rave reviews, and is changing the narrative around wildfires.  

“Elemental: Reimagine Wildfire” is available to stream on Amazon, Apple TV, Google Play, Vimeo, or at Elementalfilm.com
