It's all your neighbors. It's your church. The school is gone. The stores. The restaurants you liked to go to. It's all gone." Matt explains a loss of a sense of community that I’ve encountered among those living through environmental transformation the world over. The physical places where we live are, in essence, stages upon which our lives and relationships unfold. The destruction of the physical creates a rupture in community, which is often the most painful part of the process for many. In the wake of fire, as he patrolled a ghost town, Matt experienced a type of phantom vision. “When I'm working now, I'll instinctively look over at what used to be the less-than-reputable places where there used to be stolen cars and stuff. Of course everything is gone but it's almost like I still see it."

Matt's story is part of @rebuildingparadisefilm, a powerful new @natgeodocs film by @ロン・ハワード that releases to the public tomorrow.
