Let the Fire Burn

Part of the Racial Equity and Inclusion series, Let the Fire Burn uses found footage to tell the story of a longtime feud between the city of Philadelphia and controversial radical urban group MOVE. By order of local authorities, police dropped military-grade explosives onto a MOVE-occupied row house, and TV cameras captured the conflict that resulted in the tragic deaths of 11 people (including five children) and the destruction of 61 homes. The documentary film screens at 6:30 tonight at the Capitol Theatre. Tickets cost $5. (Niesel)
