For anyone curious about disaster recovery, government mistrust, and what happens when local knowledge collides with federal power. When a prescribed burn set by the US Forest Service becomes the largest wildfire in New Mexico history, a community is left to reckon with devastating loss and a century of mistrust. Following families and Forest Service crews through the aftermath of disaster, “burn, scar” asks who gets to shape the future of a place, and how community knowledge collides with federal power, disaster recovery, and a climate rapidly changing the terms of survival. -RLW Director bio:Hillary Bachelder is an award-winning documentary director, cinematographer, and editor based in New Mexico.
