VOLCANO: RESCUE FROM WHAKAARI (Video on Demand World Wide 2022)

 Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.5|5.0 Starsìììì 

Volcano: Rescue from Whakaari—odd and sad event—is the story of White Island Volcano in New Zealand that erupted in 2019 with steam and other material, nearly destroyed several groups of tourists, and left many physically scarred. This is the story of the survivors, the ones who did not survive, and provides a back story on the event. What a film! Very informative and well put together. One of the better documentaries on the market. Worth its watch. Crafted more for the teen/adult audience.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? 

Yes. This is a good watch that not only brings a part of New Zealand alive but introduces several different ways of thinking that humans do when getting ready to engage activities that may be dangerous.
