This is the closest view of an active volcano most of us will ever get. The above film titled The Fire Within made by Page Films, by a "crew of two" captures the eruption and flow of lava of the most active volcano on the planet.

Mount Kilauea in Hawai has been erupting since 1983. Not an uninterrupted consistent flow but sputtering away, at times more active than others. Using time-lapses the film shows the slow flow of lava from the volcano, burning through forests and making its way through to the ocean where it ends in a grand eruption of smoke.

Filmmaker Lance Page who grew up near the volcano wanted to capture the "essence of what it’s like to be in the presence of such incredible power and to display it in a way that feels true to the nature of Kilauea, equally as haunting as it is beautiful."
