Lava Bombs: Truths Behind The Volcano captures explosive stories behind the crisis and response to the 2021 Volcán de Tajogaite eruption in Cumbre Vieja on La Palma in the Canary Islands.

Tajogaite was the largest and most destructive eruption in La Palma for the last 500 years. It caused around €1 billion in damage, displacing over 6,000 people and destroying over a thousand homes and plantations.

Lava Bombs reveals the heavy impact of this major disaster, through the voices of the affected people, emergency managers, politicians and scientists and showcases dramatic imagery captured by witnesses, news crews and drone pilots so valuable lessons can be drawn worldwide.

Lava Bombs: Truths Behind The Volcano is a one-hour documentary co-produced by GeoTenerife and New Light Studio. Directed by Alexander Whittle and produced by Sharon Backhouse, it is a distillation of GeoTenerife’s ongoing #VolcanoStories project.
