Documentary filmmaker Rory Kennedy stitches together stories of courage, resilience, hope, despair, helplessness, loss, and perseverance in this film about the 2019 volcanic eruption incident in New Zealand. The story focuses on the Whakaari White Island volcano, a popular tourist destination in the Bay of Plenty region. On December 2019, forty-seven people were on the island when the volcano erupted. The film features interviews of both survivors and rescuers present on that fateful day as they recall the nitty-gritty of what happened and how people came out of it or didn’t.
