How's this for a job...

Relevant to our Year 8 work on the production of items that we consume, and also our Year 9 work on Risk (it's also a fairly Adventurous Landscape Year 7s....)
A documentary on the sulphur miners, whose place of work is an active volcano (also featured in the 'Human Planet' series..)


Where Heaven Meets Hell Official Trailer from Sasha Friedlander on Vimeo.

Deep in the rain forests of Eastern Java, Indonesia, lies the active volcano, Kawah Ijen, where 500 sulfur miners carrying backbreaking loads, traverse treacherous terrain amidst spectacular vistas and toxic gases. Where Heaven Meets Hell relays the stories of four of these miners, who risk their lives and health daily in an industry we rely on for sugar, matches and cosmetics. This visually stunning and intimate film chronicles their attempts to escape the endemic poverty and lack of education that haunts their community. Drawing strength from their families and Muslim faith, these miners inspire us as they search for meaning in their daily struggles and triumphs.
