“From rappelling down helicopters to leading hotshot crews, these women are driving change in the male-dominated forest service.”

A Documentary about Badass Women

Smart. Strong. Committed. Fearless.

They are wildland firefighters battling more than raging, dangerous fires. They’re also fighting a culture that has marginalized their voices, excused gender-based discrimination and left them vulnerable to sexual harassment and assault.

DONATE.

ANCHOR POINT is a labor of love from independent filmmaker Holly Tuckett and her small, all female team — a writer, an editor and a composer. It was a dream made real through hard work, determination and the change in our pockets. We are thrilled to be sharing the stories of the women of wildland firefighting in this film.
