Samantha“I genuinely printed out this poster and hauled it to Mexico so I could frame it and hang it in my apartment. That’s how much I love this film. Sara is an amazing director…”

JaperMoon“About a French couple who loved each other as much as they loved volcanoes. Some of the most beautiful archival footage in existence. Come for the love story, stay for the retro volcanologist suits. Currently streaming on NatGeo/Hulu.”

Kelsey Keith“This documentary is wondrous and batty (in content) and absolutely arresting in terms of visuals — so much so that I still use it as a reference point, years later. The filmmaker also lives in Berkeley; shout-out to Berkeley.”

Maha“I loved this film. It documents Maurice and Katia Kraft who are the most badass scientists and have the ultimate love story. They had a shared passion for volcanoes that led them to visit, study, and document many of the world's most explosive behemoths. Do yourself a favour and watch ♥️.”
