Growing up in Compton,Ca., I know first hand that the truths spoken to by the people in this documentary are just that. This documentary should be viewed in class rooms across the country . If you get a chance to view this film do it and and share it with as many people as you can. MUST SEE!

"Fire This Time" is the best Documentary I have ever seen.It shows the African American anger, the injustice of the American system, and the indifference and hypocrisy of the white establishment in the face of this slow motion genocide. A must see for all people interested in equality and justice.

The Fire This Time: Why Los Angeles Burned. "In 1992 South Central Los Angeles erupted in reaction to the trial results of the police officers accused of beating Rodney King. Not since Watts 1965 had the city been in such chaos. People killed and maimed on another. Stores were looted then reduced to ash. The King trail may have been the spark, but, as the film maker explains '...Trust me, folks, we just saw the horns of the beast.'"
