FILM REVIEW: “COMPASSION SPREADS LIKE WILDFIRE - A VICKI MINOR STORY”

“Compassion Spreads Like a Wildfire” uniquely tells the heartfelt story of Vicki Minor, a beloved figure who started a foundation to aid firefighters and their families.

What made this film unique was its combination of first-hand stories shared in a documentary style and intercutting it with a narrative style screenplay. This combination provided what was already a captivating story with a sense of authenticity to really bring home the realism of this woman’s incredible charity.
