Official Trailer | Decade of Fire | Independent Lens | PBS
From NBCnews.com: As the fires raging across California draw national attention, a new documentary explores a time when fires raged across a major metropolitan area — and no one seemed to care. On Monday, Nov. 4, PBS Independent Lens will premiere “Decade of Fire,” a look at why the Bronx burned in the 1970s, and how some community members chose to stay and rebuild their neighborhoods. For co-director Vivian Vázquez Irizarry, the film was a chance to understand the forces that shaped her childhood and adolescence. Visit this link for more ... |

I was able to catch it Wednesday evening on our PBS channel out of Tacoma WA. I don't mean to get on a soapbox here, but no doubt many palms were greased to look the other way...everyone from fire/arson inspectors to the local politicians. Sad to say this is still happening today but not as blatantly and under the guise of gentrification (the process of repairing and rebuilding homes and businesses in a deteriorating area (such as an urban neighborhood) accompanied by an influx of middle-class or affluent people and that often results in the displacement of earlier, usually poorer residents). |

Through The Night
from YouTube: THROUGH THE NIGHT is an intimate cinema verité portrait of three working mothers whose lives all intersect at a 24-hour daycare center: a mother working the overnight shift as an essential worker at a hospital; another holding down three jobs just to support her family; and a woman who for over two decades has cared for the children of parents with nowhere else to turn. A tender portrait of titanic strength, love, and selflessness, THROUGH THE NIGHT showcases the multiplicity of “women’s work” -- paid, underpaid, and unpaid; emotional and physical; domestic and career-oriented -- all while negotiating the terms of a dignified existence under the three arrows of racism, sexism, and capitalism in America. Directed and produced by Loira Limbal, a Sundance Institute Fellow and a former Ford Foundation JustFilms/Rockwood Fellow. Directed/Produced by Loira Limbal Producer Jameka Autry Co-Producer Nicole Docta https://www.throughthenightfilm.com/ _______________ Looking forward to seeing this whenever it starts streaming in the states. |
