On November 4 at 10 p.m., Independent Lens (PBS) will air Vivian Vázquez Irizarry's Decade of Fire, a powerful examination of the conflagrant Bronx of the 1970s. For those whose only impressions of that area were formed by news footage of Charlotte Street or movies like Fort Apache, The Bronx (1981), this documentary is a must-see.
