In 1985, a standoff between the radical African-American organization MOVE and Philadelphia authorities ended in tragedy. The police, attempting to evict the group from their row house, used explosives to ignite a fire that would engulf not only the MOVE headquarters but also the surrounding neighborhood, claiming eleven lives and leaving a community in ruins. The controversial decision to "let the fire burn" has been the subject of heated debate and raises questions about race, police brutality, and the limits of state power. Through archival footage and eyewitness accounts, Let the Fire Burn provides a searing and thought-provoking account of a tragedy that still resonates today.
