Werner Herzog’s La Soufrière

In 1977 a volcano called La Soufrière threatened to obliterate Guadeloupe. After the island’s evacuation, Werner Herzog read an article stating that one man had refused to leave. The filmmaker immediately set out on a journey to the Caribbean to examine the quiet before the storm. If you have a Netflix account, you can watch La Soufrière in high quality instantly. If not, watch it right here.
