FIRELINE tells the story of an inmate firefighter desperately trying to call home while battling a wildfire with his crew. Today, 30% of CalFire Fire Dept. is supplemented by prison labor despite no clear pathway to employment upon release. FIRELINE is a tribute to the unsung heroes on the frontlines in the battle against climate change. The film stars Bobby Soto (The Tax Collector, Flamin' Hot) and is produced by Lena Waithe's Hillman Grad and Indeed's Rising Voices Program.
