14:51Now PlayingJoel Pollak, Opinion Editor of the California Post and a Pacific Palisades resident, takes viewers inside a neighborhood still scarred and seething one year after the catastrophic fires wiped it off the map. Street by street, Pollak exposes the devastation, the stalled rebuild, and the raw anger residents feel toward City Hall and Sacramento for what they call epic negligence. From empty reservoirs to vanished accountability, this is a blistering look at government failure as seen from the ashes. But amid the ruins, there are flickers of resilience — neighbors rebuilding, schools returning, and a battered community refusing to give up.
