“A Good Job: Stories of the FDNY” produced by and featuring actor and former New York City fireman Steve Buscemi will debut on Monday, September 8th on HBO.

The term “a good job” means a really tough fire, according to one of the many NYC firefighters included in this documentary directed Liz Garbus (Bobby Fischer Against The World). The film goes inside the unique experience of being a fireman in New York City. Buscemi, who was part of the New York Fire Department at Engine Co. 55 in the early 80s, retraces his steps with the FDNY and talks to the men and women who risk their lives on a constant basis to keep the city and its people safe.

“A Good Job” adds to the interviews with rare fire scene footage and photos that capture the physical and mental costs of what it’s like to fight fires in the urban landscape of New York now and also in the 5 previous decades, showing how much the job has changed, but the camaraderie hasn’t. The FDNY forms its own community of firefighters looking out for each other and the film discusses where that feeling of responsibility comes from for their fellow firemen and the city of New York.
“A Good Job: Stories of the FDNY” airs Monday, September 8th at 9 pm et on HBO.
