Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Let the Fire Burn is a 2013 documentary about the roughly decade-long confrontation between the City of Philadelphia and the radical group MOVE, which culminated in the death of all but four of MOVE's members. The film uses only archival footage, ranging from news reports, to previous documentaries, to the hearings held in the wake of the disaster. The only interaction that reminds the viewer it is a documentary are small subtitles explaining minor points in the history of the struggle between MOVE's radical ideology, and the heavy-hand of the Philadelphia Police Department.

Blatant Lies: "The police acted with commendable restraint". Smash Cut to a MOVE member surrendering to the police, walking slowly towards the police with no shirt and nothing in his hands, only for three officers to club him the instant he's within arm's reach. "It's not a cult, it's an organization." This is after 45 minutes of MOVE declaring themselves a religion and demanding the same rights as all branches of Christianity.

Corrupt Cop: It's made very apparent that the Philadelphia PD had few concerns about MOVE's safety during the final confrontation, and were out for revenge for the killing of James Ramp.
