About the Movie:

On May 13, 1985, a long-standing conflict between the Philadelphia police and MOVE, a radical African American organization, reaches a devastating climax. Following a fierce gunfight, the police commissioner approved the dropping of a bomb on the MOVE compound, leading to a fire that claimed the lives of almost all residents—except for one young boy—and obliterated a community.

This powerful archival documentary by Jason Osder draws you into the harrowing events of that day, presenting a poignant narrative of distrust and tragedy.
