The loudest bang in modern times was heard more than 3,000 miles away when Indonesia's Krakatoa erupted in 1883. It wasn't the eruption itself that killed 36,000 people, but a series of awesome mega-tsunamis, coupled with extreme fire and heat.
Krakatoa: Volcano of Destruction is a dramatized documentary that reconstructs the weeks before, and the struggle for survival during this cataclysmic eruption. Based on diaries of colonial survivors, the story is augmented with state-of-the-art volcano and tsunami science illustrated by CGI and woven seamlessly into the story.
