On 27 August 1883, what is probably one of the most violent volcanic explosions happened. The name of the volcano - Krakatoa. Sending enormous effects and shockwaves throughout the entire world. Even earning a name in the record books as well. This was first being shown here like last year or something.
This documentary gather all the records and evidence which leads up to the fateful day itself and present it in a movie-like format. The villagers, the people who are researching about the volcano, the sailors, the Dutch governor and his family and so on. For those who are not really aware, Indonesia was once actually a Dutch colony.
But back to what is at hand here. Actually there has been signs of an volcanic eruption months before the fateful day itself. But then, no one saw what was coming till it happened. And when it did, the after-effects is almost unimaginable. This is also being compared the 2004 tsunami as well.
The world really saw how destructive the volcano was when paintings of the skies surfaced and it's a good indication of how the skies was like immediately after the eruption.
When Mother Nature is angry, she is really angry. It is so true. I had studied a little of geography before and the destructiveness of Krakatoa is just too big to ignore that it so just deserves a mention in my geography textbook. This is the legacy the volcano leaves behind.
Overall, nice presentation of the events.
