To the Point
Bill Benenson On His New Documentary “The Hadza” The first humans learned to live off the land as hunter-gatherers in the Rift Valley of East Africa. Our species has evolved in many ways since then, but the Hazda tribe is still living the same way in the same place—50,000 years later. The Hazda: Last of the First was produced and directed by Bill Benenson, an award winning documentary and feature-film maker, whose works range from Dirt! The Movie to Boulevard Nights.

California catastrophe The fires rage on in our own backyard, and in Northern California, encompassing tens of thousands of acres each. In L-A and Ventura Counties, the Woolsey Fire has scorched everything in its path. To the north, in Butte County, the Camp Fire has charred and destroyed even more acreage, of trees, brush and everything else, north of Sacramento, and the town of Paradise is a scene of utter devastation and heartbreak.
