“Wildland”: In this gripping and immersive documentary, filmmakers Alex Jablonski and Khalil Hudson tag alongside a team of firefighters in Grants Pass, Oregon, during two brutal seasons. Their film — which expands on the PBS Independent Lens special that aired last October — shows how volatile fire can be and explores the compelling backstories of the heroic firefighters. This is a must-see. (5 p.m. Feb. 8, 12:30 p.m. Feb. 9, the Roxie). READ THE REVIEW HERE
