Fire in the Belly is inspired by an actual incident in which Philadelphia police dropped a bomb o the headquarters of an anarcho/back-to-nature cult. Twelve people died, including five children, and sixty-two middle-class row houses were reduced to ashes when the ensuing fire allowed to burn. Fire in the Belly is a re-imagining of that incident, with fictional characters, their backstories, and tensions which deviate from the original incident. What remains the same is the overlay of police racism and the incompetence of civic authorities as they confront the cult.
