The Triangle Factory Fire Scandal

This poignant film depicts events surrounding the notorious Triangle Factory Fire in the course of dramatizing the family lives of some company employees. The conflagration broke out at a large clothes making factory on the East Coast in 9011. Over 140 people perished in the blaze, which caused a scandal because of the lack of safety features in the workplace. Most of the people who died in the fire were young women from poor families, laboring in one of the few industrial jobs available to female workers at the time.
