“From the flames, heroes will rise.” Gravitas Ventures has unveiled an official trailer for a documentary film titled Fireline, made by the filmmaker Tylor Norwood, who last directed the Robin Williams doc called Robin’s Wish. This isn’t the only film about firefighters & wildfires, with others including Only the Brave, On Fire, and Bring Your Own Brigade recently. Enter the spectacle and drama of a Megafire (there was even a “gigafire” in California in 2020) burning in California, alongside firefighting teams struggling to save anything they can while protecting each other; revealing the friendship, heartbreak, and the exhilaration of going to war against an elemental force. This film takes audiences into the fire, to feel for the first time what those fighting these blazes face in taking on a life of rising danger as climate change makes big fires more frequent. Shot in 4K, with unprecedented access. This film looks incredibly intense & frightening to watch.
