Uno de los Nuestros, film showing and panel discussion with Spanish firefighters

  • Center for Progress and Justice 1420 Cerrillos Road Santa Fe, NM, 87505 United States (map)

This is a free event, and will be in Spanish with subtitles and translation.

Uno de los Nuestros is a film chronicling wildfire in Spain and the firefighters that engage them.

The film will be followed with a panel discussion with Spanish firefighters and other firefighters from across the world to compare wildfire across the world.

How does nature respond to forest fires? What is society's response to forest fires? How do forest firefighters respond to social pressure and the dangers they face? 'Uno de los Nuestros' will help us understand resilience in both people and landscapes in Spain, a fundamental concept to understand the future of forest fires. The film is in Spanish with English subtitles.

 This event coincides with the Spanish Language TREX, an event that brings firefighters from across the Spanish Speaking world to Santa Fe to hone their prescribed fire skills.

The panel discussion will be hosted by Blanca Céspedes, a professor at Highlands University, and the panel will be in Spanish and translated to English.
