Apache 8 Film
Friday, 08 March, 2013
At 5:30p.m. we’ll be showing our final film for International Women's Day, “Apache 8” which is 57 minutes. The film focuses on the all-female Apache 8 unit who has protected their reservation from fire and also responded to wildfires around the nation. This group of firefighters, which recently became co-ed, soon earned the reputation of being fierce, loyal and dependable and tougher than their male colleagues. Facing gender stereotypes and the problems that come with life on the impoverished reservation, the women became known as some of the country’s most elite firefighters.
