The Story Group And Working Films Present – Unacceptable Risk: Firefighters On The Front Lines Of Climate Change

2015, 90 Minute Running Time 

Unacceptable Risk is a short film, featuring local firefighters who have battled many of Colorado’s epic fires of the past decade. Our wildland firefighters are witnessing climate change impacts in their daily lives. Unacceptable Risk examines how these climate changes are transforming Colorado’s fire environment, bringing higher temperatures, drier fuels, and diseases to forests, which combine to create volatile conditions for firefighters and communities. Following the screening, firefighters, climate scientists, and the filmmakers will join the audience for a conversation about ways that Coloradans can work together to address climate change and the growing threat of wildfires.

Screening followed by Q&A with filmmaker, firefighters and a climate scientist.
