Film examines wildfire scars of all kinds

It’s been more than four years since New Mexico saw its record-breaking fire season, with more than a half million acres burned, but the repercussions go deeper than the scars they left behind. That’s the premise of a documentary on the Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak Fire, “Burn, Scar,” that will be shown at 6 p.m. Sunday at the Silco Theatre. The film, which runs about 90 minutes, will be followed by a discussion that includes the film’s director, Hillary C. Bachelder. Tickets are $8 and can be purchased on the Silco website, thesilcotheater.com. Even though the film is about the northern New Mexico fire that became the largest in state history, Bachelder said she believes the film will be of interest across the state.
