Filmmakers Gretchen Hildebran and Vivian Vázquez Irizarry chronicle a series of South Bronx fires that raged throughout the 1970s.

Q&amp;A with the directors to follow!In the 1970s, the Bronx was on fire. Abandoned by city government, nearly a half-million people were displaced as their close-knit, multi-ethnic neighborhood burned to the ground. While insidious government policies caused the devastation, Black and Puerto Rican residents bore the blame. Now, Bronx-born Vivian Vázquez Irizarry exposes the truth about the borough’s untold history and reveals how her community chose to resist, remain, and rebuild.
