Our recorded Q&A with director Ron Howard and Paradise residents Michelle John and Steve "Woody" Culleton. Hosted by film critic James King.

On the morning of 8th November, 2018, a devastating wildfire engulfed the Californian town of Paradise.

As home after home went up in flames and roads became impassable, desperate residents grabbed the few possessions they could and fled the town. By the time the fire was extinguished, it had killed 85 people and displaced 50,000 more.
