UK-based TVF International has picked
up Irene Chapple and Annie
Goldson's new documentary about the deadly eruption of
Whakaari / White Island on December 9, 2019. The Eruption:
Stories of Survival offers very personal insights into the
tragedy, which killed 22 people and injured 25.
The Eruption was directed by Chapple,
an experienced journalist making her feature documentary debut, and
Chapple produced the film with Goldson through their company Pencil
Productions.
Several other WIFTers were also involved:
Prisca Bouchet as editor, Janet
Thomson as production accountant, while post-production
was handled by Department of Post under the guidance of Mark Taylor
and James Brookes.
