A new Netflix documentary marking three years since the Whakaari White Island tragedy will include audio and footage that has never been shared with the public before.
The Volcano: Rescue from Whakaari hits Netflix on December 16, but is being screened in New Zealand prior to the global release as a sign of respect for what the country went through.
On December 9, 2019, a sight-seeing tour was on the island when the volcano erupted, killing 22 people and injuring a further 25.
The documentary, directed by Oscar nominee Rory Kennedy and written and produced by Dallas Brennan Rexer, features interviews with survivors and first responders, telling the story minute-by-minute with footage and audio taken at the time.
