Defiant Sundance Festival Goes Ahead, Showcasing Industry Strength Despite LA Fires

In a striking display of resilience and economic fortitude, the Sundance Festival kicks off, undeterred by the recent wildfires devastating parts of Los Angeles. With a lineup including a glitzy Jennifer Lopez musical and a gripping Benedict Cumberbatch drama, Sundance serves not only as the year's first major gathering for the U.S. film industry but also as a testament to Hollywood's ability to persevere in the face of natural disasters, without succumbing to climate change alarmism.
