This is one of the better documentaries of the unfolding & aftermath of a natural disaster that I have ever seen...Part of me wanted to turn it off for fear of what I might see - but the larger part wanted to know the truth(s) of this great catastrophe on Whakaari (White Island) The cinematography was excellent along with the variety of narratives from a multitude of perspectives. I'm frankly amazed 22 lives were lost and not all 47 because what was suppose to be an awesome adventure in nature turned in a "heartbeat" to a great tragedy. MANY "lessons" learned in watching it in regard to natural disaster and the elements of first aid for such a rare occurrence. I salute every person who was part of this production for creating an astounding "blow by blow" understanding of how it all unfolded - the wrongs and rights of it and the amazing men and women who came to the rescue in spite of the dangers presented. EXCELLENT documentary!

This documentary about the tragic eruption in 2019 of the Whakaari volcano that killed 22 people and injured more shows the reason for the attraction that these people, and many more before them, had for visiting. Despite the potential danger, it's as beautiful a place as one can imagine. It had previously erupted in 2013 and 2016, so I'm not so sure I would have gone there in 2019 as a three year pattern, even if just a coincidence, had emerged. In any event, the poor people who happened to visit on that particular day suffered horrendously and some of the survivors are here to tell, and in some cases, show what occurred. Some of it is actual footage taken by some who survived and some of it is recreated events narrated by those there that day. The human survivor focal points are a couple who were there on their honeymoon and a young man who lost his entire immediate family and somehow, miraculously survived while with them. He alone will break your heart offering inspiration as well. Included are are also some very, very moving recollections of the bravery of many. This is a difficult re-telling of the events to hear, but oddly, there is no mention of all of the legal ramifications that occurred afterwards as there was some warning that the volcano could possibly erupt. The end credits make it clear that no one was ever held responsible despite that fact. The newlywed husband, a very congenial man to listen to, states at one point he would never had gone had he had been aware of all the facts that were known that day and you can just feel the pent up rage he is feeling beneath that veneer. Tours of this island are no longer allowed.

Too long and overly drawn out. Could have easily been told in an hour. A group of people went on an adventure expecting to see some raw, natural beauty. That's awesome! Unfortunately, the results were less than desirable. Sure, some of the liability must be assigned to the tourists that took the risk, but unlike some reviewers, I don't believe that the tour companies and local governments are without blame. Travelers have a reasonable expectation of basic safety - rightly so. Technology is more than advanced in this day and age to warn of impending disastrous conditions like a pending volcano eruption. Despite conditions being 'Level 2' on the day of, the expedition irresponsibly proceeded. This is not on the travelers that didn't know any better, and trusted those that were supposed to know better, it's on those that were supposed to know better. I know there is a different culture and different approach in this - and many other - parts of the world, but that doesn't excuse the wanton disregard for human life; and yes, they DO need to be held accountable, despite the protests of the apologists here and elsewhere, so that things improve and nothing like this ever happens again.

Unlike an earlier reviewer, I did not find this documentary too long at all. In fact, in my view, it could have been longer. I was mesmerised for every single second, and I don't even usually like documentaries. Perhaps it had special meaning for me because I live in New Zealand and have visited Whakatane many times. Although I've seen it from the shore when visiting the region, and from boats when fishing, I've never been to White Island/Whakaari. This documentary is extremely well done, with a lot of real footage, and with a heart-breaking and emotional impact. I started tearing up the minute the description of the eruption started, and haven't yet stopped. How brave those rescuers were. And thank you to the survivors (and relatives) for telling us their stories.
