Film Studies Welcomes Gretchen Hildebran
Oct. 15, 5 p.m.
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.
