YOUNG MEN AND FIRE * (Camden International Film Festival Camden town, Rockport town, and Rockland City Maine USA 2018)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì 

Young Men and Fire documents training of wildland fire fighters. It’s a small, focused look at changing lives through work training and the courage necessary to face this type of work. The camera work is very good; the interviews well done with a well-documented story that relies on actual work hours in a variety of stages of firefighting.

Young men attempt to make better lives for themselves through training that enables them to fight wildland fire. 

Additional Thanks 

Thank you to Director Alex Jablonski for directing effort. 

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? 

Yes. The movie does not glamorize the occupation. It shows equally the dangerous work time and the tedious work time. There is also a nice realization toward the end of the film about job satisfaction in working for the safety and protection of the larger community.
