Into the Inferno
Oscar nominee Werner Herzog directs this absorbing documentary about the geologic and cultural impact of volcanoes, as he joins volcanologist and co-director Clive Oppenheimer on a journey through Indonesia, Iceland, North Korea and Ethiopia. With stunning views of eruptions and lava flows, Into the Inferno captures the raw power of volcanoes and their ties to indigenous spiritual practices on this quest to understand the mysterious, violent, and rapturously beautiful phenomenon.
