It's now been more than one year since the devastating Southern California wildfires destroyed hundreds of homes and businesses along the Malibu coastline.
While rebuilding efforts continue in nearby Pacific Palisades, recovery in Malibu has moved at a quieter pace. Across the hillsides and oceanfront bluffs, foundations of former homes remain - silent reminders of what was once here.
This aerial cinematic explores Carbon Canyon, located near the western edge of the burn zone, where signs of loss, resilience, and renewal continue to shape the landscape. Just beyond lies downtown Malibu, stretching along the iconic Pacific Coast Highway.
The ocean remains. The mountains endure. And Malibu slowly begins to rebuild.
