They loved each other and they loved volcanoes, and they never had to choose. What's the fire you'd walk toward?

Who it's for

Awe is one of the few emotions that shrinks self-focused worry, and the Kraffts' footage of lava and eruptions delivers it in abundance.

What it is

Fire of Love is a 2022 documentary directed by Sara Dosa, narrated by Miranda July and scored by Nicolas Godin. It tells the story of French volcanologists Katia and Maurice Krafft, a married couple who spent two decades filming eruptions up close, and is built largely from their own rare archival footage. The film covers their work up to their deaths on a 1991 expedition to Mount Unzen.
