Synopsis by Perry Seibert

Jason Osder's documentary Let the Fire Burn revisits the horrific 1985 standoff between the MOVE organization and officials in Philadelphia, which led to a fire that caused the deaths of nearly a dozen people. The filmmakers offer an even-handed account that shows how each side exacerbated the situation.
