This seven-time award winning film features compelling personal stories of survivors as well as the events leading up to the 1980 eruption and its aftermath. "The Fire Below Us" aired numerous times to rave reviews and high ratings on National Geographic Explorer and PBS, as well as internationally on the Discovery Channel.
In 1980, the film's producer, Michael Lienau, was a 20-year-old cameraman with a film crew attempting to capture the first ground level shots of the devastation. When a second eruption shook the ground, they narrowly escaped death when the blast rocketed over their heads. Trapped for three days, the crew became the story they were covering, and were even declared missing and presumed dead. Miraculously, they survived when a rescue helicopter finally spotted them. This thrilling DVD contains the entire film, plus extra footage and bonus material not previously released.
