In August 2022, a raging wildfire engulfed Jinyun Mountain in Beibei, Chongqing, China, uniting an entire city in a heroic fight for survival. While firefighters battled towering flames and motorcycle brigades delivered critical supplies, a quieter but equally powerful story unfolded at the mountain’s base. Ordinary residents, armed with fire extinguishers, ventured into the smoldering forest to stamp out lingering sparks, protecting their homes and community from rekindled threats. This gripping documentary captures the raw courage, unity, and resilience of a city standing together against nature’s fury, spotlighting the unsung heroes who fought to reclaim their mountain.It’s said that human strength cannot yet match natural disasters, but the fearless make a better future possible.
