directed by Tony Gerber, produced by Bent Jorgen Perlmutt for Market Road Films

One of the few lucky survivors was the Virunga CBCA church, where the lava had miraculously spared it by a few meters. Shortly after, the Virunga CBCA choir wrote a deferential song about what Mt. Nyiragongo had taught them, which immediately became a radio hit all over eastern Congo.
