In January 2025, filmmaker Ondi Timoner’s Altadena, California, home burned to the ground, like so many others, in the Eaton Fire. In this raw accounting of the fire’s emotional, economic, and environmental aftermath, Timoner and her wife, Morgan Doctor, keep the camera rolling as they don hazmat suits and pick through the ashes. Through connection with family, neighbors, and community organizers, new bonds are forged, and struggles—both administrative and personally heartbreaking—are laid bare.

Sallie’s Ashes
Brennan Robideaux, United States, 2025
A nearby power plant’s unlined waste dump of toxic coal ash is threatening the ecosystem of Mobile Bay, so a trio of retired Alabama seniors band together to do something about it. Facing terminal lung cancer, eighty-year-old Sallie Smith (“The Instigator”) rallies her friends Diane Thomas (“The Researcher”) and Savan Wilson (“The Techie”) to form the Coal Ash Action Group to raise awareness and get industrial behemoth Alabama Power Company to move the poisonous ash to safer ground.
