Film
How It Begins is a gradual immersion in the flames, following in the footsteps of a firewoman who is preventively burning forest in North Carolina in order both to regenerate the land and avert devastating wild blazes. In this immersive ambulation, the act of setting fire becomes an intimate and direct experience of the elements.
