42:03Now PlayingTheirs is a reputation forged in fire -- built on bravery, dedication and danger. But privately, there’s a dark side; a burning secret inside so many fire halls across the country. Female firefighters who spoke to the fifth estate say they are being bullied and harassed on the job. Despite this they keep fighting, and across the country young women are signing up to become firefighters, driven by the fire within.
EDITOR'S NOTE: This documentary features the story of Robert Bennett, who was at the time convicted of sexually assaulting three women. He has since successfully appealed his conviction and obtained a new trial, and was found not guilty on two of the three counts. The jury was unable to reach a decision on one count.
