In the summer of 2021, an exceptional heat wave and drought led to giant fires that ravaged 19 million hectares of land in northeastern Siberia. In this region, at the heart of the taiga, lies the village of Shologon, soon to be blanketed by a thick cloud of smoke. Spread by the wind, the black ashes carry alarming news: the forest is on fire, and the flames are fast approaching. Abandoned by the government, the inhabitants must fend for themselves and rally to fight “The Dragon.”
A discussion with Wilhelm Seerieder (Bayerische Staatsforsten) and Tjan Zaotschnaja (Gesellschaft für bedrohte Völker) will follow the screening.
The original version of the film will be shown with English subtitles. The discussion will be held in German.
Free and open to the public.
