Brandon and Royal met fighting wildfires while imprisoned in California’s penal system. Now, despite institutional barriers, personal financial pressure, and mounting environmental dangers, they are training other formerly incarcerated firefighters to become professionals and join their new, self-owned department.” -Film Chalk Website After the screening, stay for a Q + A discussion with Mike Wolfschmidt, Career Lieutenant with Westhampton Fire Co. and Wildland Firefighter, and Assistant Chief Nick Caricato of Highpoint Fire Co. as they discuss the environmental and societal factors of wildfires.
