the story of we are conjola our fire our story

On New Year’s Eve 2019, Ash Brennan  lost his house in the Conjola Park bush-fire which nearly killed his  brother and many others who stayed to fight. From a Perth hotel room Ash  saw the first image of what used to be his house in the background of a  news reporter.

After almost being wiped off the map, a  traumatized community waited for help. But it never came. Conjola was  abandoned and left for dead. Local artists then started creating. They  needed to heal. It gave the community hope and solidified their journey  to recovery, together. Ash hopes that this film will be part of that  recovery.
