Experiencing Interruptions?

What Happens When The Mountains Burn?

In September 2024, Peru experienced one of its worst wildfire seasons. "What Happens When the Mountains Burn?" follows Mark and Rodrigo, two content creators who travel to the city of Huaraz in the Cordillera Blanca to understand how the fires spiraled out of control, how civil society responded, and the impact of these wildfires on the glaciers of Huascarán National Park. The documentary is an intimate portrait of the fight to protect life in the mountains during times of climate crisis.
