The Volcano: Rescue from Whakaari

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 "

"a tasteful in good faith documentary. powerful "

" “We’re going to die today and I just want our bodies to be found together.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #netflix new documentary is a heartbreaking tense story of 47 tourists and guides trapped by a volcanic eruption off the coast of New Zealand in December of 2019. The way this film is directed it’s almost as if your on the volcano with these people every minute. Due to the real time footage and camera phones you really get a minute by minute visceral impact while watching. This isn’t like any documentary you’ve seen before with natural disasters. It’s very well shot and the first hand accounts are very vivid. Cautionary tale about playing Russian roulette with Mother Nature #highlyrecommended #volcano #documentary "

"Good doc. Appreciated that they used pictures/videos from the day/event but provided a warning ahead of time to viewers. That said…I don’t understand how or why any average tourist would choose to go see an active volcano. There was a terrible loss of life and it also endangered rescue personnel. Horrific. "

"I can't imagine the pain and suffering these people went through. Especially having your skin burnt off. Prayers to the people who are still struggling."

"An informative story of a tragedy delivered with tension and suspense! I highly recommend for a quick watch."

"Heartbreaking loss of life. Great documentary that uses actual footage from that day."

"this is one of the saddest documentaries I’ve watched and hopefully a feature to bring much more awareness around tourism & volcanoes. so fascinating and devastating to watch. "

"They don’t allow visitors anymore. Rightfully so. "
