Synopsis
Set in the aftermath of the fire that nearly destroyed Fort McMurray in the summer of 2016, After the Fire is a dark comedy centered around two couples’ lives who have been deeply affected by the ‘natural’ disaster. This Indigenous-led, new Canadian work raises vital questions about continued industrial development in Fort McMurray and its effects on the environment, and the national cultural paradox of both condemning but intrinsically profiting from the exploitation of our natural resources.
