BC is Burning is an urgent and impactful documentary exploring British Columbia’s wildfire crisis and what we must do to protect our forests, communities, and future.


With five catastrophic fire seasons in eight years, entire communities are at risk, emissions are soaring, and the economic toll is immense. Since 2017, over seven million hectares—larger than Ireland—have burned, routinely doubling BC’s annual carbon emissions and costing billions in suppression, community devastation, timber losses, and health impacts.


But within this crisis lies opportunity. The film explores how proactive forest management and policy reforms can reduce fire risk. A fact-finding journey to California highlights innovative strategies from its Wildfire and Forest Resilience Action Plan.


BC is Burning is more than a documentary—it’s a call to action to rethink how we manage our forests, protect our communities, and secure a sustainable future for British Columbia.

Following the documentary screening, filmmaker Murray Wilson will host an audience Q&A.
