The Volcano: Rescue from Whakaari, details the heart-wrenching stories of the survivors of the 2019 White Island volcanic eruption. Among these survivors was Jesse Langford, a 19-year-old Australian college student who was vacationing in the area with his family. The trauma he suffered during the incident and what he is doing with his life now is an empowering story of overcoming obstacles in the face of tremendous adversity.
Jesse’s story is just one of many, however. 22 people were killed by the eruption with another 25 injured. Many of those hurt suffered horrific burns as well as life-lasting emotional damage. The disaster has also led to a variety of criminal charges and lawsuits brought against those involved. The aftermath of the disaster is not focused on much in the Netflix documentary, instead it chooses to detail the events of the day itself.
