ALL THE WALLS CAME DOWN Released By LA Times Today!
Rebuilding Together: A Community's Triumph
When award-winning filmmaker Ondi Timoner left her Altadena, CA home for a shoot on January 4th, 2025, she could not have predicted that she would be leaving it for the last time.
Returning to the ruins left by the Eaton Fire, Ondi finds her neighbors, many of whom had their generational wealth wiped out overnight, now at risk of being displaced from the only place they’ve ever called home.
But the community, led by community organizer Heavenly Hughes and My TRIBE Rise, is bonded by fire in solidarity, determined to protect one another.
“ALL THE WALLS CAME DOWN” shares a deeply personal story in the aftermath of the 2025 LA fires, as Ondi turns the camera on her community ravaged by climate catastrophe and finds Altadena’s remarkable resilience, which rallies in its wake.
