Incendio 1974

A brutal documentary account detailing the infamous Sao Paolo high rise fire of February 1, 1974. With strange 1970's era electronic music soundtrack, shocking photojournalistic footage, iconic animation, and a deadpan narration, the film deconstructs the deadly conflagration and what went wrong. The quality is not great at the start but it settles within 30 seconds. I remember the teacher showing us this video at school but I can't remember why or what lesson it was.

Warning: Some of the footage may be disturbing to some viewers.
