Film Studies Welcomes Gretchen Hildebran

Thursday, Oct 15, 2020 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Location

Online/Virtual Event
via Zoom
Join us for a presentation by Gretchen Hildebran, co-director of "Decade of Fire," followed by a Q and A.

In the 1970s, the Bronx was on fire. Abandoned by city government, nearly half-a-million people were displaced as their close-knit, multiethnic neighborhood burned to the ground. When insidious government policies caused the devastation, Black and Puerto Rican residents bore the blame. An acclaimed documentary, "Decade of Fire" explores a blind spot of American urban history and reveals how the local community chose to resist, remain, and rebuild. Between Oct. 5 and Oct. 19, please view the film. After viewing the film, please join us on Zoom for a talk by Gretchen Hildebran, co-director, followed by a Q&A.
