A young fireman, and father of four, jumps to his death to escape a Bronx fire alongside five other firemen. Upon inspection of the fire, it becomes clear that both the building owners and the city of New York are at fault. The fireman’s wife and the surviving, but chronically injured, men from the fire must grapple with the subsequent court case and their own trauma resulting from the tragic day.
Katreana Bellew wrote a screenplay about Black Sunday and her father’s father’s death, and the subsequent years that followed. The film is a representation of the bravery of our nation’s first responders, the brotherhood of the FDNY, as well as a tale of grief and how people must move on with their lives, even when the worst thing imaginable happened. Black Sunday will bring you into a world you never want to experience for yourself, but it unfortunately was the reality for Katreana’s family.
