This film explores the 2013 bush fires that devastated the Blue Mountains townships of Winmalee and Yellow Rock, and documents the recovery of the community afterwards.
By combining candid interviews with residents, raw footage from the day of the fire and practical advice for people living in a bushfire prone area, this film provides rare and valuable insights into a community experience of surviving and then rebuilding after a bush fire.
