EUROPE IMAGES INTERNATIONAL - M5

Synopsis

For most of us, volcanoes are a danger, a menace, a ticking time bomb. But for some, they are simply a fact of life. Journey to the slopes of the world’s active volcanoes to meet the people and tribes who live in the shadow of these mountains of fire.
From Ecuador to Indonesia and the Philippines, each episode visits a different country to encounter traditional communities, examine their turbulent co-existence, and witness the fascinating routines and rituals they have adopted over thousands of years.
This unique approach combines anthropology, mythology and science to take a fresh look at the awesome power of volcanoes and man’s amazing ability to adapt to life alongside them.
