The documentary delivers a powerful story of survivors and the community. If you like documentaties, i would definitely recommend it but be aware that it can leave you emotional after watching it. I loved the way it was set up - easy to follow and you had enough different perspectives to get a clear picture, but not so many you felt lost or confused . My heart raced beginning to end, fantastic testimony of the power of human nature and Mother Nature . This was a terrible tragedy , in spite of that , the people who stepped up to help and the will to survive were incredible and commendable.

I am always intrigued by volcanos and I enjoyed how the story was told. At times it got a little slow for me but I was locked into the story pretty well. I liked the different styles it used.
