SUMMARY:Sunday Matinee Documentary Series:  Fire of Love from Sandbox Films
DESCRIPTION:Our free winter Sunday matinee documentary series from Sandbox Films continues with Fire of Love. Curiosity is stronger than fear. This film tells the story of two French lovers\, Katia and Maurice Krafft\, who died in a volcanic explosion doing the very thing that brought them together: unraveling the mysteries of our planet\, while simultaneously capturing the most explosive volcano imagery ever recorded. Along the way\, they changed our understanding of the natural world\, and saved tens of thousands of lives. Previously unseen hours of pristine 16-millimeter film and thousands of photographs reveal the birth of modern volcanology through an unlikely lens — the love of its two pioneers. Sandbox Films is an Oscar-nominated production studio that illuminates the art and beauty of scientific inquiry: humankind’s weird\, messy\, brilliant way of navigating the world. Free hot chocolate. For adults and youth ages 12 and up.
