Documentary RATING: NR RUNNING TIME: 1:15 RELEASE DATE: February 20, 2020 STARRING: Vivian Vázquez Irizarry (narradora) DIRECTOR: Vivian Vázquez Irizarry, Gretchen Hildebran WRITER(S): Vivian Vázquez Irizarry, Gretchen Hildebran MOVIE SYNOPSIS: 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, reducing the community to rubble. While insidious government policies caused the devastation, Black and Puerto Rican residents bore the blame. Now, Bronx-born Vivian Vazquez Irizarry exposes the truth about the borough’s untold history and reveals how her community chose to resist, remain and rebuild. DECADE OF FIRE tells the story of the South Bronx that you’ve never heard before, and offers us a roadmap for building the communities we want and truly deserve.
