100% Certified Fresh! “Writing with Fire pays stirring tribute to the power of journalism — and presents a chilling glimpse of the forces aligned against it.” (Rotten Tomatoes)

5 Stars! “It’s well worth seeking out.” (San Francisco Chronicle)

5 Stars! “This is a story of women taking their destiny into their own hands, changing how the world sees them, how they see themselves, and literally changing the world at the same time. Writing with Fire shows them doing so, all while entertaining and educating its audience.” (Alliance of Women Film Journalists)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
