Synopsis:

In 1883, the volcanic island of Krakatoa, situated in the Sundra strait in Indonesia, erupted, killing 36,000 people and unleashing a series of terrifying tsunamis. According to records it generated the loudest sound ever historically reported - the cataclysmic explosion was distinctly heard as far away as Perth in Australia (1900 miles). This spectacular docu-drama, starring Olivia Williams uses eye witness accounts to tell the true story of one of the most destructive natural disasters in history.

A factual drama that highlights stories of survival based on personal diaries from 1883, including Dutch Controller Willem Beijerinck and his wife Johanna, as they struggle to save their family and colony. Interwoven with these stories are scientific experts and CGI that explain each aspect of the Krakatoa eruption, including how the pyroclastic flow and tsunamis were formed and the effects they had on the sea, land and people in their paths.

Drama-documentary about the eruption of Krakatoa on 26th of August 1883, and the stories of some of the Dutch colonists caught up in it.
