Good Job: Stories of the FDNY, A

Utilizing exclusive BTS footage and firsthand accounts from past and present firefighters, acclaimed actor Steve Buscemi (an FDNY veteran) explores what it's like to work in one of the most demanding fire departments in the world. This documentary takes viewers inside the New York City Fire Department to illuminate the lives of the often "strong and silent" heroes who put themselves at risk to protect residents and serve the city. Through behind-the-scenes footage and interviews conducted by award-winning actor Steve Buscemi - a former firefighter with Engine Company 55 in downtown Manhattan - the film touches on the personal journeys of several current and former firefighters while revisiting some of the FDNY's milestones, including the integration of women and people of color, the "War Years" of the '60s and '70s, the 1966 fire at Wonder Drug (a drugstore in which 12 firefighters died), the arsonist-ignited Happy Land Social Club fire of 1990 (87 victims), and the tragedy of 9/11 and its long-lasting impact on the FDNY. The film features candid photos, rare video footage from the last five decades, Buscemi's own pictures and videos from 9/11, and interviews with a number of firefighters, including members of #55 and former FDNY Commissioner Salvatore Cassano. A Good Job is a genuine, raw and emotional look at the sacrifices firefighters make, the challenges they face, and reveals why the FDNY family truly lasts forever. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)
