In the 1970s, fires raged through the South Bronx. Abandoned by landlords and city
officials, nearly a half million residents were displaced from their beloved neighborhood. With the help of fellow
survivors, filmmaker and Bronx native Vivian Vázquez Irizarry tells the story of the residents who banded
together amidst the rubble and built a better future for their community.
