Thanks to your donations, an incredibly important documentary, Beyond the Fire: Recovery, was created. It follows on from the story told in season 1 of Beyond the Fires.
Beyond the Fire: Recovery follows the triumph and resilience of one Gippsland community. It explores how they banded together to rebuild after the Black Summer Bushfires. 18 months on and the community is still recovering physically, emotionally, and mentally.
Through a lens of hope, this standalone documentary gives a voice to the triumphant grassroots story of communities. Set against the stunning backdrop of Gippsland, Beyond the Fire follows the journey of fire affected locations. It explores the frustrations and triumphs of the community lead recovery. The power of perceived control and hope, and the journey still to come. It connects with local heroes to share courageous stories of overcoming heat, wind and flame. It tells the very real story of how our Bushfire appeals have had a vital impact on those in the most affected parts of Australia.
There is still a long way to go.
