BURN is a documentary about Detroit, told through the eyes of Detroit firefighters, the men and women on the front lines, charged with the thankless task of saving a city -- and an American Dream -- that many have written off as dead. Located on Detroits blighted east side, Engine Company 50 is one of the busiest firehouses in the United States. Every day, these firefighters face injury, disablement, chronic illness, death. Theyre using outdated equipment and working for a meager wage. The skeleton fire crews left in this crumbling American city dont deny that its sick, but they cant view it as terminal, either. The media has swarmed on the city, sensationalizing its decay. But, until now, no one has properly explored the city and its people with the depth and detail they deserve.
