Our Lady of the Angels fire topic of new WTTW documentary

Twenty years ago, “Angels Too Soon,” a documentary produced by Jay Shefsky for WTTW’s “Chicago Stories” series, became one of the most sought-after works produced by the station. On Sept. 22, the newest season of “Chicago Stories” will begin with “Angels Too Soon: The School Fire of ’58,” produced by Peter Marks. The new documentary includes more footage from a documentary filmmaker who was riding with one of the fire crews on Dec. 1, 1958, as well as new interviews with survivors of the fire.
