BURNING

NYC PREMIERE Oscar-winning filmmaker Eva Orner (Taxi to the Dark Side) focuses on the “Black Summer” of 2019-2020 when bushfires ravaged her home country of Australia. But the film’s lessons apply to any country where political will is more focused on burning fossil fuels than stopping the climate crisis that makes wildfires worse. Australia is one of the world’s largest exporters of coal and gas. Orner deftly analyzes how those economic factors have fostered a climate of willful denial among politicians and Rupert Murdoch’s media.  – Thom Powers
