Synopsis
Black Sunday explores the true story of a courageous group of New York City firemen who experienced the worst disaster to happen to the FDNY since 9/11 and a fallout that resulted in the biggest civil trial in New York history. From medical miracles to heartbreaking tragedy, from the hypocrisy of bureaucracy to the eternal bonds of brotherhood, this movie explores the path and the lessons that unfolded around these events. But most of all, it's an intense human drama. At times, honest and beautiful, and at others, shocking and surreal. A true story that has to be seen to be believed.
