Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This documentary examines a horrific fire that killed 146 factory workers when it engulfed the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York City on March 25, 1911. The filmmakers explain how that particular factory had been a focal point in the battle for laborers to gain more rights on the job. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

The fire that tore through the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York City on March 25, 1911, was the gruesome culmination of years of unrest in America's most profitable manufacturing industry. Two years earlier, led by a spontaneous walkout in the same factory, twenty thousand garment workers, in the largest women's strike in American history, took to the streets of New York to protest working conditions. They gained the support of both progressives and leading women in New York's society.
