8:32 AM: The Last Photographs of Robert Landsburg

8:32 AM is a short documentary about Robert Landsburg, the Portland photographer who spent weeks alone on Mount St. Helens in the spring of 1980, capturing the ominous transformation of a volcano on the verge of eruption. When it blew on May 18th, Landsburg kept shooting until the last possible moment, then shielded his camera and film with his body so the photographs would survive. Seventeen days later, his film was recovered from the ash. His images were published posthumously in National Geographic, a lifelong dream achieved only in death.

Landsburg's family has never told his story on camera until now.
