\n\tClimate journalist Bill McKibben<\/a> and executive producer and former \u201c60 Minutes<\/a>\u201d producer David Gelber<\/a> have teamed up to create \u201cAltadena: One Fire After Another<\/a>,\u201d a documentary chronicling the aftermath of the 2025 Eaton Fire in Los Angeles. The film follows Altadena residents as they confront the challenges of rebuilding their homes, preserving their community and navigating the long road to recovery.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile much of the initial coverage focused on the night the fire erupted, the documentary picks up the story more than a year later.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe fire was only the beginning of the story,\u201d Gelber said in a statement. \u201cWe wanted to understand what happens after the television cameras leave, when families are left to rebuild not only their homes but also their lives and sense of community. Altadena\u2019s story is deeply personal, but it\u2019s also a window into questions communities across the country are increasingly facing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film features interviews with Altadena residents sharing personal stories along with conversations with professionals on climate, economics and public policy.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019ve become accustomed to covering disasters as breaking news. What\u2019s far less visible is what comes next. This film is about the months and years after a catastrophe, when the real consequences begin to unfold,\u201d McKibben said in a statement. \u201cI hope people take away from the documentary the fact that this is not a random tragedy in any way; rather, it\u2019s caused by a particular set of players doing a particular thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film is produced and directed by Jonathan Scheinberg and produced and edited by Vanessa Gould. The documentary team\u2019s credits include \u201c60 Minutes,\u201d \u201cYears of Living Dangerously,\u201d ABC News, CBS News, HBO, CNN, The New York Times and National Geographic. \u201cAltadena: One Fire After Another\u201d is currently in post-production, with the filmmakers currently evaluating distribution opportunities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Climate journalist Bill McKibben and executive producer and former \u201c60 Minutes\u201d producer David Gelber have teamed up to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":897004,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[10673,376076,68548,376077,88,206],"class_list":["post-897003","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-60-minutes","tag-altadena-one-fire-after-another","tag-bill-mckibben","tag-david-gelber","tag-entertainment","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/897003","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=897003"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/897003\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/897004"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=897003"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=897003"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=897003"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
