Plot
Descend into the crater of the Nyiragongo Volcano (in Zaire, Africa) to witness the terrifying yet spellbinding explosion of molten lava at its very source. Set to the Toccata and Fugue of J.S. Bach, the film is at once stunningly beautiful, yet plunges us into the very depths of hell. The extreme beauty of the visuals, together with the power of the music, creates an unforgettable experience.
