Leadership in Cinema Documentary Alert:
NBC Dateline is airing a documentary on the Cedar and Paradise Fires this Sunday, March 8 at 9 p.m., 8 Central.
"My hope and my sense from our interactions with the crew working on this program is that it will be a sensitively drawn retrospective. For sure, the fact that NBC chose the Cedar Fire as one of only three catastrophes featured in this special 3-part series about disaster survivors validates our extraordinary experiences here in San Diego that terrible week in 2003--and again in 2007.
Let this new version of our story be a tribute both to those loved ones we lost and to our resilience as survivors." - Sandra Millers Younger, author of "The Fire Outside My Window"
