The Fireburn Foundation produced Fireburn the Documentary. This educational film serves as a tool for cultural preservation and shares the rich history of the US Virgin Islands. The documentary features, historians, artists and cultural ambassadors sharing their knowledge of the bloody labor revolt of 1878 on the island of St. Croix.

Currently the documentary is being shown in Film Festivals. Because it epitomizes what people will do when denied their inalienable rights, it is highly relatable and timely. Please check back for updates.

Please be a part of this Fireburn Foundation production by making your tax deductible donation today. Thank you for partnering with us.

They Say

“I had no idea what to expect when I purchased this book based on a friend’s recommendation. But once I started reading it, I couldn’t put it down because it is very well written, funny, unique, and gave me a glimpse into the history and culture of St. Croix. I had never heard of the historical event called the “Fireburn” but this screenplay, which is historical fiction, made me want to learn more about this event, in particular, and the islands in general. I am not a fan of reading about history and most documentaries are long and boring, so this book was perfect for  me. I really hope that it is made into a movie because reading it as a screenplay made it easy to see all of the characters in my head.”

“This is actually a screenplay with a “Caribbean flavor” that shows the strength and passion of the people of the Virgin Islands during an uprising. The book is well written, injected with a bit of humor, and very informative. I would recommend this book to teachers as well as individuals who would like to know more about the culture and history of the Virgin Islands.”

“I am a native to the island of St. Croix so this made “Fireburn the Screenplay” extra special to me. The author used vivid imagery and her words took me back to my childhood, when I first heard the Fireburn story. Angela’s book brought back lots of memories for me and I couild feel myself getting involved emotionally as the characters lived their lives. I did not know what to expect since it was a screenplay, but I found that I really enjoyed it because it felt like I was watching a movie in living color! I highly recommend this book to anyone who would like to learn more about St. Croix, and the Fireburn in particular, and hope to see it in theaters one day with Angela actng in it and producing it and it being filmed in the Virgin Islands.”
