New Doc on Eaton Fire & Black Altadena's Fight for Survival

For generations, Altadena was a sanctuary — a place where Black families could own homes, build wealth, and put down roots when doors were closed everywhere else. Then came the Eaton Fire. NAACP Pasadena President and fourth-generation Altadenan Brandon Lamar joins Dr. Nii-Q to talk about Beneath the Ashes: The Past Reimagined — the documentary that refuses to let Black Altadena's story disappear. With the community's Black population projected to fall below 5% as developers move in and families struggle to rebuild, this isn't just a disaster story. It's a story about who gets to stay. Premieres Saturday, June 27th at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Tickets at beneaththeashes.com.
