Artist and filmmaker, Betty Nguyen lost her home, vehicle and art studio in the recent Thomas Fire disaster that wiped out 700 homes in Southern California. "Thanks for the opportunity to make a film about my Thomas Fire experience. There's been a lot of trauma but people have shown so much kindness and altruism, that it has made me a true witness to humanity. I am forever moved and grateful to everyone who stepped up during this time. It's been a transformative experience for myself and my community. Peace."
