Little Heroes
A documentary about the ancient relationship between humanity and fire. A chorus of voices set in Sardinia, where the natural arid landscape is an emblem for understanding the catastrophic fires that will increasingly devastate Italy. Climate change has lengthened the dry season and with it the fire season. Fire is blamed on arsonists, the prevention system and human neglect. Today, fire has become a symbol of death and destruction. Yet civilization has developed around it. Since archaic times, the ability to harness, direct and fight fire differentiates us from other living beings. "Fires" is a choral documentary that invites us to reconstruct the lost relationship between man and fire. A plural narrative that comes to life in Sardinia, an island in southern Italy increasingly afflicted by the scourge of summer fires. A territory where the struggle to extinguish is mixed with the stories of those who suffer the flames on their skin; people, flora and fauna without any discrimination. —Ruben Gagliardini
