Fire Front

This movie had a great opportunity to portray the trials of the Emergency responders and the victims of the fires, creating a historical record.

Instead it descended into a political mudslinging exercise. Very disappointed that such an important event in the history of Australia was used to gain political hit points at the expense of those that actually fought the fires.

The footage of the fires was very emotional and well edited, only then to be interrupted by obviously biased political discords.

The director would have been better off to create the movie in two parts. Part One, the events on the ground portraying the works of emergency services and the effects of the fires on the victims. Part Two, focusing on the political discord around the response to the fires and the effects of climate change exacerbating the disaster.

This movie missed a great opportunity to show this disaster and instead sought about making political points.
