Eles morreram em 1991, mas deixaram um legado que enriqueceu nossa compreensão do mundo natural. Baseado em seus registros, o documentário conta a história de criação e destruição de dois cientistas que rumam ao desconhecido em nome do amor.

O documentário combina reportagem, história e filosofia em uma experiência cinematográfica fascinante.
Killer Volcanoes
Documentaries by Katia and Maurice Krafft feature some of the amazing footage shot by the renowned volcanologists, who perished in 1991 while filming a volcano in Japan. The duo documented more active and erupting volcanos than any other scientists in the world, and their dedication shows in Deadly Peaks and Killer Volcanos, two educational films that capture the scientists on the edge of a hot ash blast and floating on a lake of sulfuric acid. The films visit Mount Kilimanjaro and examine some of the less-known dangers such as carbon monoxide gas that builds under crater-formed lakes. They also take an in-depth look at the eruption of Mount St. Helens and the lengths to which people will go to save their communities. Venturing to places where most people would never dare, the Kraffts gave their lives to promote the study of volcanos and left behind a legacy of courage in the name of science. --Shannon Gee

The film is about the life of the Krafft couple, from Maurice's first clim on stromboli at the age of seven to their tragic death in 1991 on Mount Unzen in Japan. The couple were scholars, film-makers, researchers and photographers who made volcanology the main purpose of their life. Together they filmed over 800 hours on 128 erupting volcanoes and they made over 450,000 negatives of great aesthetic and scientific value.
