FILM DESCRIPTION: Filmed across the West and narrated by Golden Globe and Emmy nominated actor David Oyelowo, “Elemental: Reimagine Wildfire” takes viewers on a journey with the top experts in the nation to better understand fire. The film follows the harrowing escape from Paradise, California as the town ignited from wind-driven embers and burned within a few hours of the fire's start. It then continues to the even more recent fires of the last two years, when Oregon, California and Colorado suffered their worst wildfires in recorded history. “Elemental: Reimagine Wildfire” includes the voices of climate experts, Indigenous people and fire survivors, and asks us to reimagine our relationship with wildfire as we prepare for an increasingly hotter future.

“Elemental: Reimagine Wildfire” won Best Director, Best Editing, and Jury Award Best Documentary at the Golden Gate International Film Festival in 2022. At the Valley Film Festival, the film earned the 10° Hotter Award in 2022.

Film Director Trip Jennings has worked with National Geographic for over a decade. His films have won dozens of awards around the world and have aired on major networks on every continent.
