Fire of Love
Katia and Maurice Krafft loved two things — each other, and volcanoes. For two decades, the daring French volcanologist couple were seduced by the thrill and danger of this elemental love triangle. They roamed the planet, chasing eruptions and their aftermath, documenting their discoveries in stunning photographs and breathtaking film to share with an increasingly curious public in media appearances and lecture tours. Ultimately, Katia and Maurice would lose their lives during a 1991 volcanic explosion on Japan’s Mount Unzen, but they would leave a legacy that would forever enrich our knowledge of the natural world.

This is the documentary I have ever seen
This is more then a movie about volcanos. It's a beautiful stunning and emotional journey about what life is. This is a beautifully put together archival story about one couples love and life. It looks at life through the lens of a scientist and does great job exploring what not only earth is made of, but life.
The imagery is beyond words and moving on its own. This documentary lets viewers see and understand the world as legendary volcanologists Katia and Maurice Krafft did. Did I know who they were before this film? Barely. But I know consider them important figureheads in the way we have been able to understand how not only volcanos work, but earth as well.
