Tracking Fire

Today we wanted to highlight work from a local poet, philanthropist, and friend, Sheri Wright.

Wright’s new documentary, Tracking Fire, explores and dissects an unsolved arson that resulted in the death of 32 people.

“On a June night in New Orleans, 1973, hate raged up the steps of a gay men’s bar and consumed thirty-two people. The authorities called it arson. Others said it was God’s own hand. No one was ever charged for the crime.”

The film is made in affiliation with the Louisville Visual Arts Association. To make a tax-deductible donation, you can visit LouisvilleVisualArt.org (and specify it is for Tracking Fire).
