On Screen/In Person: Man On Fire

On Screen/In Person: Man On Fire

Presented by Appell Center for the Performing Arts at Appell Center for the Performing Arts

Grand Saline, Texas, a town east of Dallas, has a history of racism, a history the community doesn?t talk about. This shroud of secrecy ended when Charles Moore, an elderly white preacher, self-immolated to protest the town?s racism in 2014, shining a spotlight on the town?s dark past. ?Man on Fire? untangles the pieces of this protest and questions the racism in Grand Saline today. Overall, ?Man on Fire? encapsulates the racial clima- te in Grand Saline and chronicles Moore?s life and death, presenting Grand Saline and Moore as two pil- lars of the lm?s narrative: one a disjointed man seeking truth and communal repentance and the other a com- munity whose present is inextricably tied to their past.
