  • Watch Online / Bomberos (2011)



    Desc: Bomberos: Directed by Ieva Jusionyte. Bomberos (Firefighters) is a documentary about a group of volunteer firefighters in Puerto IguazĂș, Argentina, on the border with Brazil and Paraguay. "Nobody obliges us, but the pain of others," is written in red on the wall of a one-floor building in the very heart of town. Created in the 1980s the IguazĂș firehouse has been staffed entirely by volunteers. These are men and women who have regular jobs to support their families, but who respond to the call of duty 24/7, who treasure camaraderie and honor more than any other reward, and who, despite the limited means available to them, continue their vocation to serve the community. Focusing on the experiences of several volunteer firefighters, this documentary highlights the achievements and struggles of their everyday lives in a remote firehouse.
