«Bella, fresh off the boeat from Italy, arrives in New Tork and gets a job at Triangle Shirtwaist Factory. There, along with hundreds of other immigrants, she works long hours at a grueling job under terrible conditions. Yetta, a coworker from russia, has been crusading for a union, and when factory conditions worsen, she helps workers rise up in strike. […] The explosive atmosphere following the strike is dangerous, but things are about to get unimaginably worse: On March 25, 1911, a spark ignites some cloth, and the building is engulfed in flames, leading to one of the worst workplace disasters ever».
