WORLD PREMIERE Fire Capt. Rob Christensen has spent decades saving lives, fighting blazes, and losing colleagues as he valiantly serves his Idaho community. Under immense mental strain, he undergoes experimental ketamine-assisted therapy to treat his post-traumatic stress disorder, assuage his spirit, and connect with his teenage daughter. A cinematic portrait of a man seeking to live with his trauma, Under Fire is disarmingly vulnerable as it takes audiences inside sessions with Christensen, at the frontier of psychedelic therapy. - Brandon Harrison
