Trial by Fire Movie Review | It's Gonna Burn Going Down 🔥 (AUDIO)

In this episode, the crew at TruVue Podcast takes the heat head-on as we break down Trial by Fire, a true-crime biographical drama based on the controversial case of Cameron Todd Willingham. This one ain't your average courtroom flick — it's a deep dive into justice, race, class, and the flaws that can set the whole system ablaze. 🔥 Directed by Edward Zwick (Glory, The Last Samurai) and written by Geoffrey S. Fletcher (Precious), this 2019 film stars Jack O'Connell as Willingham, a Texas man accused of setting the fire that killed his three daughters. But as the trial unfolds and journalist Elizabeth Gilbert (played by Laura Dern) digs into the details, the truth becomes murkier than the smoke that started it all. This episode gets into the fire and fury of wrongful convictions, state executions, and how evidence can be twisted to fit a narrative. We ask the hard questions — not just about what happened, but why it keeps happening. It's not about the review, it's the conversation with the crew. We keep it real on the reels. 🔥 Trial by Fire is streaming now on Netflix. Watch it before listening — this episode is full of spoilers and real talk.
