The Pittsburgh Company Behind A Deadly UK Fire
Description
Five years ago, a refrigerator caught fire in an apartment inside the Grenfell Tower in London. It burned to the ground, ultimately killing 72 people — many of them children. And there’s a Pittsburgh manufacturing firm at the center of that story.
Local filmmaker and multimedia artist Chris Ivey has interviewed dozens of survivors about their trauma. He’s with us to talk about how he got involved, how you can see his new film, and what justice means for the hundreds of displaced people looking to Arconic for answers.
