America Ferrera Instagram – The Lost Bus is streaming now on @appletv – You’ll be gripped, terrified, and moved by this true story of human resilience in the face of unthinkable disaster. It was an honor and a privilege to work with an amazing team to bring the story of California’s deadliest wildfire in Paradise, Ca to life. Many thanks to Kevin McKay and Mary Ludwig for their heroism, generosity of spirit, and allowing us to adapt their story to the screen, and to @jamieleecurtis who brought everyone together (why don’t we have any pics together Jamie?)
