SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL

NEW FILM

SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL follows a rural community battling a massive luxury development that threatens a critical wildlife habitat and puts residents’ lives at risk in a fire-prone landscape.

This story serves as a lens into a larger issue unfolding across California, where new housing mandates push cities to approve dense, mostly luxury projects, often bypassing environmental review and silencing local voices. Set against intensifying wildfire risks, residents and experts confront the precarious balance between development and preservation, asking: who decides the future of California’s communities and environment?
