Anchor Point is about the passion and grit of women in wildland firefighting. They are women battling not just roaring infernos, but a culture that silences their voices, excuses discrimination and leaves them at risk for sexual assault. Told through the eyes of Kelly Martin and Lacey England — wildland firefighters who are generations apart — it is also the story of women united in an effort to forge a future that includes more equity, opportunity and safety on the fireline.
