In the 1970s, the South Bronx was burning—and instead of helping, the city blamed the people who lived there. But behind the flames was a bigger story: racism, neglect, and a system that let it all happen. Decades later, a filmmaker returns to the ashes of her childhood to uncover the truth behind one of America’s most devastating urban crises. Through powerful testimony, rare archival footage, and emotional storytelling, this documentary reclaims history and honors a community’s fight for justice. This historical drama and Black cinema documentary is both an exposé and a call for resistance. 2019 American Black Cinema Documentary Movie Directors: Gretchen Hildebran, Vivian Vázquez Irizarry Stars: Carmen Rosado, Hetty Fox, Robert Foster ► Subscribe to get all the latest content https://bit.ly/3MUpeLC #FullMovies #FreeFullMovies #TheStream #SouthBronx #HousingJustice #PBSIndependentLe
