Through a stunning visual and historic exploration of pandemics, riots, and colonial violence, The Fire This Time chronicles centuries of data to contextualize a world recently struck by these global catastrophes. Fading between collages of archival visuals with fragments of non-archival footage, a story about recurring patterns of human behavior across time reveals an unexplored connection between public health outbreaks and social upheaval.
