Movie lovers can enjoy two new documentaries this weekend as part of the Bermuda Docs Weekend Film Series at Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute.

‘Let the Fire Burn’, winner of the Best Editing award at the International Documentary Association’s 2013 annual awards, will screen on Sunday at 3pm, while environmental picture ‘The Last Ocean’ — winner of the Best Feature Award at the 2013 Reel Earth Environmental Film Festival — will screen at 5.15pm.

‘Let The Fire Burn’ tells the story of how a long and heated feud between the city of Philadelphia, and the controversial urban group MOVE, came to a deadly climax on May 13, 1985.

By order of local authorities, police dropped military-grade explosives onto a MOVE-occupied row house.

Television cameras captured the fire that quickly escalated, leaving 11 people (including five children) dead and destroying 61 homes.

The story unfolds through archival news footage and interviews, as filmmaker Jason Osder looks to bring to life this tumultuous and largely forgotten clash between government and US citizens.

Meanwhile, ‘The Last Ocean’ focuses on the Ross Sea in Antarctica — considered to be one of the last places where the delicate balance of nature prevails due to it being largely untouched by humans.

Trouble arises as an international fishing fleet has recently found its way to the Ross Sea.

And marine experts say unless fishing is stopped the natural balance of the unique body of water will be lost forever. They rally together to form a non-profit organisation and launch a campaign taking on the commercial fishers and governments in a bid to protect Earth’s last untouched ocean from our insatiable appetite for fish.

“There are similarities between the Blue Halo project, and the efforts being made to protect The Ross Sea, and so this is the perfect storm of a great film as well as an opportunity to find out what is being done locally,” Duncan Hall, the programme director for the film series, said.

“We are most grateful to [Blue Halo director] Chris Flook for agreeing to attend the film and provide an update.”

Trailers of both films can be viewed at www.bermudadocs.com. Tickets are on sale now at the Oceans Gift Shop at BUEI, or by calling 294-0204.
