On May 13, 1985, Philadelphia police dropped two pounds of C4 military explosive onto 6221 Osage Avenue, a city row house occupied by the organization known as “MOVE.” Firefighters, already on the scene, stood back and watched for nearly an hour as the blaze ultimately consumed three city blocks. By the time the fire had been extinguished, six adults and five children were dead and sixty-one homes had been destroyed in the predominantly black working-class neighborhood in West Philadelphia. LET THE FIRE BURN will be the first historical documentary film that chronicles this harrowing and confounding chapter in contemporary American social history.
