Zeitgeist Films stands together with those who are fighting police 
brutality and systemic racism.

We would like to share the extraordinary 2013 film Let the Fire Burn, a 
document of another tragic clash between government and citizens that 
occurred 35 years ago in Philadelphia. On May 13, 1985, a longtime feud 
between the city and the black liberation group MOVE came to a deadly 
climax when, by order of local authorities, police dropped 
military-grade explosives onto a MOVE-occupied rowhouse resulting in the 
tragic deaths of eleven people (including five children) and the 
destruction of 61 homes. It is a story that is worth revisiting in these 
current days of injustice, anger and grief.

Let the Fire Burn will be available to watch for free here throughout 
the month of June.  Please read the accompanying statement by Mike 
Africa Jr., member of the MOVE Organization about the film.
