Inthrive Film Festival: Flames Forge Freedom

Experience the powerful story of the men who started California's Forestry & Fire Recruitment Program when others shut them out.
About this Event

They risked their lives fighting California’s fiercest wildfires while incarcerated—only to find themselves barred from doing the exact same work after release.

Refusing to let the system extinguish their passion, incarceration survivors Brandon and Royal built their own nonprofit fire department. Firebreak is the gripping story of their fight to forge a new path for men seeking a second chance. Follow their newest cohort through a grueling, high-stakes training program in an exhilarating story of grit, brotherhood, and redemption.

After the screening stay for a conversation about how other incarceration survivors forge their own path of freedom through entrepreneurship.
