Ron Howard: Personal connection inspired California fires documentary

Acclaimed filmmaker Ron Howard said a personal connection moved him to make a documentary about the most devastating wildfire in California history.

Howard's latest film, Rebuilding Paradise, documents a community's effort to piece itself back together after being all but destroyed.

At least 85 people died when flames tore through Paradise in northern California, while 95% of buildings in the town suffered serious damage.
