The
Price
Of Paradise
Memories Of Montserrat DVD - 2007 Edition
The story of the
eruption of the Soufriere Hills Volcano
A Comprehensive Compilation
of the entire eruption (135 minutes)
On
July
18th
of 1995,
Montserrat’s sleeping volcano rumbled back to life after hundreds of
years of dormancy. Over the next 10 years, David Lea’s “The Price of
Paradise” video series kept the Montserrat community, and many others
around the world, informed of the incredible events taking place during
those volcanic days.
Now he has
taken the highlights of
his extensive archive and created a “video journal” that places the
viewer right in the middle of an unfolding disaster. This DVD is an
unusual record for us today and a historical document for the
generations to come. The eruption
begins with the first
steam vents of 1995 that lead to the massive explosive eruptions of
1997 and the deaths of 19 people. The story continues on to the dome
building phase, collapses and massive ash falls of the new millennium.
The viewer
can then go to the bonus menu and choose from nine
different items like:
Survivors
stories, The glowing dome at night, A walk
through the buried city in 2003, The solar eclipse, 3 exciting days in
July 1997, Books to read, Poetry, A drive through Plymouth in 1984 and
a tour showing the ongoing rebuilding of the north.
