Fire Next Time, The

Last Minute Sales & Specials

Set against the backdrop of a raging forest fire, "The Fire Next Time" is a biting portrayal of ordinary people divided - and united - by forces larger than themselves. When hard change comes to a bucolic Montana town, locals quickly choose sides in a nasty throw down over the environment, jobs, and the future of their community. Kalispell, Montana, known as the "last best place" in America, is undergoing rapid growth and degradation of the pristine wilderness, a reality that pleases few and drives some to extreme measures. In this tinderbox of a town, an actual forest fire rages as a backdrop to a community torn apart by hate and politics. From anti-environmental activists burning a green swastika to Native Americans fleeing racism, the film never flinches in its harrowing depiction of western America in the raw.
