Man on Fire: A Texas Town and Its Racist Roots

Trigger warning: This film is highly emotional and discusses an actual case of suicide, specifically self-immolation as sociopolitical protest. Man on Fire tells the story of a white minister, Charles Moore, who set himself on fire in 2014 to protest the racism in his small town of Grand Saline, TX.

By viewing this film, participants will be able to explore what small town racism looks like in contemporary America and question the efficacy of Charles Moore's death by protest in changing the situation.
