In the 1970s, the Bronx was on fire. Left unprotected by the city government, nearly a half-million people were displaced as their close-knit, multiethnic neighborhood burned, reducing the community to rubble. While insidious government policies caused the devastation, Black and Latino residents bore the blame.

Join us in screening this documentary that uncovers the hidden truth. Decade of Fire offers the emergence of a new narrative for the South Bronx and places like it across the nation. Co-directors Bronx native Vivian Vázquez Irizarry and Gretchen Hildebran will speak with the film.
