"Oh Lord, ignite me, burn me with the flames of your heart. My emptiness is great, but You who fills all of creation, fill me with Your love..."
- Alfredo Ormando
In January 1998, Alfredo Ormando, an Italian gay writer, set himself on fire in the Vatican's St. Peter's Square. Ten days later he died from his burns. What is the flame he ignited? And was he a saint, sinner, or lost soul?
By unraveling this tragic story, ALFREDO'S FIRE examines the clash between faith and homosexuality, and highlights the deadly consequences of religious intolerance.
