Our country is often defined by its heroes. We see most of them in stories, TV, and the big screen: warriors, first responders, firemen. Only the Brave focuses on the latter – but not the often storied ‘structure guys’, but rather the dirty, tired, and unbelievably brave forest fire fighters. In this case the well known story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, a “buck the man” group of machismo yet loving characters who made the cut and joined the elite association of hotshots. This was a story of incredible courage, a come-from-behind and coming of age story, as well as a story of love and kindness. Try not to cry.
