Decade Of Fire

In the 1970s, fires consumed the South Bronx. Black and Puerto Rican residents were blamed, even as they fought to save their homes. Vivian Vázquez Irizarry pursues the truth around the fires, uncovering racist policies and neglect that shape our cities.

My take

A meticulously researched investigation into a forgotten urban crisis and the systemic racism that fueled it. Gripping and sobering—the kind of documentary that reframes history and demands your full attention.
