Top Cast
“Tulsa: The Fire and the Forgotten” works best as a learning tool, filling in some of the blanks of American history, details that were purposely redacted by the same types of people who wish to continue that redaction.
Contextualizing this central event while diagnosing the modern manifestation of a chronic national sickness, The Fire and the Forgotten can be understandably unfocused as it tries to do so much in its 90 minutes. ... Its dedication to the Massacre on a journalistic, human level makes the documentary a worthy look at the burning of Black Wall Street.
It spends a little less time on the past and more on the continuing issues of race in Tulsa, including educational disparities and the protests following the police killing of Terence Crutcher, an unarmed Black man, in 2016. In the nature of the contemporary newspaper feature, it’s a touch sanctimonious.
