"THE VOLCANO: Rescue From Whakaari", is a new doc feature from director Rory Kennedy, tracking the minute-by-minute unfolding of a volcanic eruption off the coast of New Zealand December 2019, that killed 22 people, streaming December 16, 2022 on Netflix:
"...during a routine sightseeing day-trip to a remote volcanic island, 47 tourists and guides were trapped in the epicenter of a boiling 'pyroclastic' surge of toxic dust and ash.
"Both terrifying and inspiring, the film uses first-hand accounts to convey the experience of living through such a lethal eruption.

"THE VOLCANO" paints a raw portrait of humanity at its best, while facing nature at its worst..."
