Writer-director Lucy Walker casts an immigrant s eye over California s catastrophic wildfires for this essayistic documentary.
Bring Your Own Brigade isn t the first cinematic report on the Camp Fire that destroyed Paradise, California, in 2018, or even the first one to screen at Sundance (Ron Howard s
Rebuilding Paradise played at the festival in 2020). It almost certainly won t be the last film about the devastation wrought by uncontrolled wildfires, particularly in California, by a long shot.
But it s probably the smartest, most interesting documentary so far on the subject as it adroitly balances views of survivors, first responders and observers while sifting in an accessible way through the complex science that causes such fires, focusing primarily on the Camp Fire as well as the Woolsey Fire that ravaged Malibu around the same time.
Is there any value left in old economy emerging market stocks?
‘We see no fundamental justification for value stocks to be quite so unloved’
Since the announcement of the first Covid vaccines in November last year, there has been a surge in optimism that after a long spell of underperformance, value strategies might be set to return to the fore for investors.
It is well known that value funds have had a long struggle, underperforming their growth counterparts for the best part of the last decade. However, one region investors might not traditionally think to when it comes to value is emerging markets, but Ernest Yeung, manager of the T Rowe Price Emerging Markets Discovery Fund, predicts better times ahead for EM value investors.

Earth Observation (EO) is said to be one of the most valuable assets for the African continent as it can lead to increased fiscal revenues, the safeguarding of environmental resources, improved public health and the boosting of continent-wide agricultural productivity.
This is according to the World Economic Forum’s 2021 insight report, Unlocking the Potential of Earth Observation to Address Africa’s Critical Challenges. The report was prepared in collaboration with Digital Earth Africa (DE Africa), a platform designed to catalogue large amounts of EO data used by policy makers, scientists and the private sector to address social, environmental and economic changes on the continent.

Responding to the second wave of pandemic-related restaurant closures and county-wide Red-level public health restrictions, the Aspen Art Museum on Thursday announced a new program that will provide free to-go meals for locals.
The museum and its SO Cafe, operated by Allen and Julia Domingos of Epicure Catering, are aiming to feed locals as so many people’s livelihoods have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and recent ban on indoor dining.
“By partnering with the AAM, we’ll be providing a nourishing and delicious lunch to those in need of a little lift in their day,” Julia Domingos said in the announcement. “We’ve been part of the Aspen hospitality industry for more than two decades, and it’s the least we can do for our fellow locals.”
