Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The film investigates Charles Moore's self-immolation in protest of racism in his hometown of Grand Saline, Texas and explores three major themes: the life and death of Charles Moore, the vestiges of racism in rural America, and the impact of Moore's death on people in Grand Saline and surrounding areas. The film encapsulates the racial climate in Grand Saline and chronicles Moore's life and death, presenting Grand Saline and Moore as two pillars of the film's narrative.

"Grand Saline, Texas, a town east of Dallas, has a history of racism, a history the community doesn't talk about. This shroud of secrecy ended when Charles Moore, an elderly white preacher, self-immolated to protest the town's racism in 2014, shining a spotlight on the town's dark past. "Man on Fire" untangles the pieces of this protest and questions the racism in Grand Saline today."--Container.
