Written and directed by Carolyn Banks, this film documents the Bastrop County Complex Fire. Burning from September 4 to October 10, 2011, the Bastrop fire became the most destructive wildfire in Texas history. The fire destroyed nearly 1,700 homes, severely damaged Bastrop County's ecosystem, and caused two fatalities. Narrated by Dan Welcher, this film covers the events of the fire by interviewing first responders, government officials, and civilians as well as showing police footage and television news coverage. Coverage continues through the aftereffects of the fire. Individuals who had to wait two to three weeks to find out the fate of their homes are shown sifting through the wreckage or rejoicing at their undamaged homes. Recovery efforts are documented, including the 'We're Coming Back' campaign and a visit from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. The film is dedicated to Michael Troy Farr and Vickie Keenan, the fire's two human victims, and interviewer Davis McAuley, who died during production. The film closes with a shot of new growth amidst the burned forest, a sign of hope and the future to come.
