Man on Fire: A Texas Town and Its Racist Roots
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. The film uses his act as a vehicle 1) to explore what small town racism looks like in contemporary America and 2) to question the efficacy of his death in changing the situation.
