An entire neighborhood was devastated. It was the final battle in an 11-year war between the police and MOVE, a group of mostly black revolutionaries. How could this have happened? Who was responsible? Why don't I know this story? Philly on Fire is a personal telling of the story that is entirely unknown. It features unprecedented interviews with Ramona Africa, the only MOVE survivor from the bombed house and Jim Berghaier, the hero cop who saved a child that day but started a downward spiral that cost him his job, his marriage and very nearly his life. The remarkable saga of Andino Ward, the father of that rescued child, is the other link in the telling of this particular story. See less
