Burning of St. Pierre (Martinique) Trailers

Third part in Edison’s “Martinique” trilogy. It shows the shower of ashes and cinders falling upon the stricken city, the boiling water in the harbor, the air laden with smoke and ash dust, the destroyed buildings, the fallen lighthouse, and a great volume of smoke pouring from the crater of Mt. Pelee.

Reviews
ThiefHott Too much of everything
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
