Help finish the docu-series that honors the movement
Born from Grief... Driven by Justice... and Fueled by Love.

FIREWATCH — the military term for standing guard through the night to protect others. A powerful metaphor for the advocates who stood watch over those sick and dying from toxic exposure — and refused to rest until justice was served.

A powerful three-part documentary series, Firewatch exposes the human cost of toxic burn pits — massive open-air fires once used to dispose of waste, fuel, and debris across U.S. military bases in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The true story of a grassroots movement born around a kitchen table in small-town Texas, where Rosie and Le Roy Torres turned personal tragedy into a national call for justice — demanding accountability for veterans poisoned by toxic exposure from burn pits. Joined by Danielle Robinson and Susan Zeier, who transformed their grief into action after the loss of Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson (name sake of the the PACT Act), and powered by advocates like Tim Jensen, Marine veteran and co-founder of Grunt Style, their voices rose from living rooms and town halls to echo through the halls of Congress. Alongside public figures Jon Stewart and John Feal, whose relentless advocacy for 9/11 first responders laid the groundwork for this new fight, their collective persistence led to the passage of the PACT Act — one of the most transformative veterans’ care reforms in modern U.S. history — holding negligence accountable and honoring those who sacrificed long after the battles ended.

Why This Doc Series Matters

Firewatch stands as a powerful reminder of what unity can achieve. This is not a political story — it’s a human one. Our veterans are our American responsibility.

The crisis didn’t end with the passage of the PACT Act. From Camp Lejeune to Red Hill, veterans and families are still being exposed because of negligence — and ignored.

Firewatch shines a light on the fight that continues today.
