Summary
On the 7th February 2009, bushfires tore through Victoria, Australia. The fires killed 173 people; destroyed over 2,000 homes and incinerated swathes of prime forest and its wildlife. Fires, though, are a natural process and these mountain forests need fire to regenerate Severe bushfires occur here at least every 70 years and all the complexity of a mountain ash forest takes up to two hundred years to recover. Even in the face of overwhelming devastation, plants and animals have an uncanny knack of bouncing back, and the environment an extraordinary capacity for healing. Told in beautiful cinematography, this is the story of how Nature rises out of the ashes
