About “Woman on Fire” (2017)

This portrait of courage under fire celebrates NYC’s first openly transgender firefighter. For Brooke Guinan, fighting fires runs in her blood – both her father and grandfather served in the FDNY. But as a transgender woman, her path to service has not been without obstacles. Transitioning from male to female in what is still an overwhelmingly macho profession proves a challenge for her coworkers and her family, while her boyfriend reckons with the impact of Brooke’s newly public profile on his parents.

Woman on Fire is “just what a great social awareness doc should be — equal parts heartwarming and infuriating.” – The Village Voice

“Woman on Fire is a moving portrait of a New Yorker who’s never been afraid to run where she needs to go, regardless of the dangers that might be waiting for her on the other side.” – IndieWire

Woman on Fire’s subject Brooke Guinan is “a superhero for the 21st century”. – Salon
