Nonetheless Productions - Bitterroot - Campfire Scene

When life is thrown into chaos, sometimes both comfort and a path
forward lie in the most familial of places. Rural Montana provides such
an opportunity for a middle-aged man reeling from a failed marriage, now
responsible for taking care of his aging mother… and her root vegetable
garden. As he shoulders this duty, his attempts at finding peace are
stymied as the stunning landscapes around him are struck by wildfire.

The Hmong community has rarely been seen like this, as director Vera Brunner-Sung
creates a contemplative and deeply affecting portrait that hooks the
audience with breathtaking shots from beginning to end. At a time when
we all long for connection and tenderness, we’re treated to moments
steeped in intimacy by a filmmaker just beginning to unearth the full
range of her power.
