The producers of the documentary “”Burn: One Year on the Front Lines of the Battle to Save Detroit” have announced that the film will premiere in April at the Tribeca Film Festival in Manhattan. The high-profile festival will run from April 18-29.
BURN is a documentary about Detroit, told through the eyes of front-line Detroit firefighters. These members have been charged with the thankless task of saving a city–and an American Dream–that many have written off as dead.
A significant portion of proceeds from the film is slated to go to the Leary Firefighters Foundation to purchase much-needed gear for the Detroit firefighters. Producers are still trying to secure distribution for the film.
More videos regarding BURN are available on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/user/detroitfirefilm.
Producers and Detroit firefighters talked about the film in the December 2011 Tailboard Talk program on Fire Engineering Talk Radio. Find out more and listen to the archived program HERE.
