The Triangle Factory Fire Project
by St. Mary's University

Mar. 01, 2019
Thursday-Sunday

Sunday, March 25, 1911. 4:45 p.m. In the Triangle Waist Factory off downtown Manhattan’s Washington Square- where 500 immigrant workers from Poland, Russia and Italy toil fourteen- hour days making lady’s dresses- a cigarette is tossed into a bin of fabric craps. Despite desperate efforts, flames swept through the eighth, ninth, and tenth floors. Panic-stricken workers run in all directions. In the space if twenty-eight minutes, the fire is under control, but 146 people, mainly young immigrant girls, have died. The Triangle Factory Fire Project uses eyewitness accounts, court transcripts and other archival material to create a dramatic moment-by-moment account of this historic fire and the social upheaval that followed. The Triangle Factory Fire Project paints a clear picture of a disastrous day in American history and explores the human toll such a tragedy takes on us all.

Directed by Bernadette Hamilton-Brady
