About "BRONX BURNING" - Director: Edwin Pagan / Producers: Beni Matias, Edwin Pagan
BRONX BURNING tells the story of the tragic events and misguided policies which almost led to the complete destruction of a major U.S. borough and the residents who decided to stay and re-claim their neighborhoods from the ashes of neglect, economic opportunism and political indifference. BRONX BURNING recounts one of the most concentrated and widespread cases of "ecoterrorism" in modern history and explores the reasons why, despite a crisis of epic proportions, those responsible for orchestrating the most rampant and longest-lasting "fire-for-hire" crime waves have never been brought to justice.
