All the Walls Came DownWhen the L.A. fires destroyed filmmaker Ondi Timoner’s home, she returned from a shoot abroad to find her beloved town of Altadena in ruins and neighbors facing displacement. The first film of its kind about these fires, “All the Walls Came Down” follows activist Heavenly Hughes and the community as they rally in solidarity, revealing remarkable resilience amid climate catastrophe. “All the Walls Came Down” as born not from a desire to tell my own story, but from an overwhelming need to make sense of this historic disaster and to tell my community’s story. We titled it “All the Walls Came Down” because when our once-siloed lives were forever changed overnight, and none of us could go home again. The walls of race, class and culture also came down, and my neighbors and I found strength and healing in standing together as a community and helping each other.
