Woven into the cultural fabric of the area, the ancient giants are still at the center of many local mystical belief systems and superstitions. Although the recent eruption of Mount Agung forced 70,000 Balinese from their homes, scientists estimate the volcano will enrich their lands with some of the most fertile soil on the planet.
Explore the unique relationship between the Indonesian people and their volcano neighbors in this experimental short from Justin Pelletier and Adam Maruniak at Brick Productions.

    Mount Agung brings both life and death. If you were one of the residents, would you be in fear or awe? Or both?

    OK living by a volcano seems like it would be cool, but I'd be scared of it erupting.

    I would have never thought living by a 🌋... One could only assume the splendor of it... Is illuminated by wondrous sound bright hot lava... Mother nature at it's finest.. As beautiful as it may be..it leaves behind tremendous heartache heartbreak knowing you could lose your life and praised possessions

    As a Western woman, I never understood the religjous awe these poplulations feel toward their volcanoes. Then someday I climbed one and heard it breathe and groan. And from the depth of my reptilian brain I understood everything.

    VOLCANOES - one of the most powerful forces on earth ! The 1816 Mt. Tambora Volcano caused snowfall even at southern Indian town of Chennai - and it was the year without summer !! Trivia : snowfall in Chennai before 1816, probably happened only about 10 million years ago, when India was attached to Antarctica.
