Kawah Ijen (The Solitary Crater)

Philip Mulroy | United Kingdom | 2003 | 20' |

| IFFR 2004

Kawah Ijen is an active volcano. It is also the site of labour intensive sulphur mining. There is no machinery, only a stream of hardy local labourers. This film from the National Film and Television School follows these miners on their gruelling journey, ultimately questioning the ritual of labour.
