Filming the Volcano in Congo
I’ve just returned from a fascinating trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo. I’ve been to the DRC a number of times now and am always surprised, fascinated and angered by the place. It’s a tough place to film as bureaucracy is incredibly complex and many people seem to have a strong dislike of Camera’s.
On this trip though I had the once in a lifetime opportunity to view the new and powerful Nyamulagira volcano – an hours drive and a three hour trek from Goma.
Personally i found the trek hard (my fitness still lagging after five months with inflammation of the chest) and was so exhausted by the time we got there that i felt my Camerawork suffered. I’ve posted the piece we made below so feel free to have a look:
At night the volcano was awe inspiring
