All the Walls Came Down - Director Ondi Timoner

When the devastating Eaton fire destroyed her home and life’s work in Altadena, California, award-winning filmmaker Ondi Timoner’s ALL THE WALLS CAME DOWN is a powerful meditation on loss, resilience, and transformation—an urgent portrait of generational families facing displacement, and a town coming together in the face of destruction. A story of rupture and renewal, ALL THE WALLS CAME DOWN reveals what remains when the physical structures of life disappear—and the healing that can happen through the power of connection with community, as Ondi, her family and neighbors fight to preserve not just homes, but history, identity, and belonging. Director Ondi Timoner joins us for a conversation on how picking up a camera to document the devastation her family had suffered in the devastating Altadena fire and later evolved into a sweeping story about Black history, generational loss, dealing with grief and loss, as well as, the power of a united community to assert control over their individual and collective future.
