Directed by Vivian Vázquez Irizarry and Gretchen Hildebran, Decade of Fire is based on events occurring in the 1970’s. The South Bronx was engulfed in flames and Black and Puerto Rican residents were wrongfully blamed. Years later, Vázquez-Irizarry wants to change the narrative and uncover the truth about the fires, racism, and neglect. The Walnut Street Synagogue partners with Women in Film & Video New England and Boston Latino Film Festival to present this film series.
