Description
In May 2016, a wildfire nicknamed "The Beast" descended on the oil sands boomtown of Fort McMurray, Alberta, triggering the largest evacuation in Canadian history. This documentary provides a visceral, second-by-second account of the 88,000 residents forced to flee through walls of 100-foot flames as the fire jumped rivers and created its own weather systems.
