The Fire Next Time

An excerpt of the P.O.V. documentary, the Fire Next Time follows a deeply divided group of Montana citizens caught in a web of conflicts intensified by rapid growth and the power of talk radio. The people of the Flathead Valley were stunned when a domestic terror cell's plot to kill local leaders was uncovered. Ex-cop Brenda Kitterman and conservationist Mike Raiman wanted to do something, but the community was torn. Many residents were losing their jobs in timber and industry, and blamed environmentalists. Adding fuel to the fire was a radio show host who declared environmentalists to be "the enemy."
