Hotshot

Hotshots are the most elite firefighters in the world. Director Gabriel Kirkpatrick Mann spent 6 years on the fireline, shoulder-to-shoulder with them amidst the worst wildfires in California history, yielding the most terrifying and stunning footage ever captured in wildland fire. In the male-dominated world of wildland firefighters, Hotshot follows the lone female member of the Texas Canyon Hotshots, providing a unique view into the arduous and thankless job of fighting wildfire by hand in the most rugged and remote areas of the American wildlands. Hotshots are like a throwback to the old west. Grizzled, bearded, fueled by chew tobacco and gallows humor, they face death on a daily basis.
