Episode 17: Rising from the Ashes: A Conversation with “Rebuilding Paradise” Director Ron Howard

A few days after most of the town of Paradise, California, was tragically burned to the ground in 2018, legendary filmmaker Ron Howard sent a crew.  But unlike the other media that descended upon the picturesque town, Howard’s team would be alongside its residents for months, chronicling their future rather than dwelling on tragedy.  Howard explains to host Stacey Wilson Hunt how his team gained the trust of the people of Paradise and came to admire their strength, tenacity and optimism.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
