Fire of Love

[Opens July 29 in theaters.] Miranda July narrates Sara Dosa's award-winning, thrilling, educational, insightful, humor- dotted, touching, 93-minute documentary dominated by stunning visuals and terrific archival photographs and film footage that showcases the love of renowned French geochemist Katia Kraftt and geologist Maurice Krafft who married in 1970 and became Alsatian volcanologists to share their passion for exploring explosive, lava-sprouting volcanoes, such as Mt. Etna in Italy, Mt. St. Helens in the U.S.A., Nevado del Ruiz in Colombia, Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland, and Mt. Nyiragongo in Zaire, around the world for more than 25 years until the untimely, tragic death of the adventurous, eccentric couple, who literally lived on the edge, on June 3, 1991, from a volcanic ash cloud on Japan's Mt. Unzen.
