by The National Board of Review
Can you discuss the way the film begins, and ends, with a family dinner scene?

Bring Your Own Brigade – Q&A with Lucy Walker
by The National Board of Review
It was fascinating to learn that you had already been in the process of making a film about wildfires when the camp and woolsey fires occurred. Can you tell us about that?
Lucy Walker: That’s right. The reason I was able to really embed, and I knew what I was looking at and could just jump in, and start asking the right questions was because I’d actually been working on the film already for about a year at that point.
