Synopsis

While this reality television show for people with brains looks to be quite compelling from the short screener sent us for review, it was hard to tell exactly how interesting. It's hard for us to review such a large project from only a small piece of it. There could be gay material in this program, we were not supplied with enough of the program to make that determination.

The 2003 winner of the Emmy® for Outstanding Nonfiction Program (Alternative), this 13-episode television series offers an intimate look into the dreams, trials and aspirations of a core group of performers involved in the creation and launch of Varekai™, the live production from Cirque du Soleil.

Fire Within begins eight months prior to opening night when it remains to be seen how the performers, who have come from around world, will survive the enormous physical and emotional demands placed upon them. Throughout the captivating series, cameras document the human experience-the drama and comedy, the victories and setbacks-and, above all, the desire to succeed that burns within these extraordinary individuals.
