Is this the world's most dangerous island? - BBC REEL

Stromboli is the most remote of Italy’s seven Aeolian Islands. This summer, two major explosions shook the island, killing an Italian hiker and causing 70 people to be evacuated. Still, 300 residents chose to live directly under one of the world’s most active volcanoes and love this magnetic island.

What a great filmmaking piece.. ! Great work by the director, DOP, and editor..
This is how a pure documentary is made.. love dit..

It may be atmospheric, but this film recreates the imagined Stromboli from Rossellini's film more than the reality. In fact, Stromboli is not a barren, desolate island lost in time. It has always been connected to the rest of the world through trade and movements of people, from the Greeks and Romans, to the men like my grandfather who traveled the world as sailors, returning regularly with money and goods, to the millions of tourists who now flock there every summer. The fact that most of the people in the film are not originally from Stromboli is just more evidence of how connected it is to the rest of the world. This piece very selectively omits all of that to reproduce a dream.

A real adventure for all brave hearted people who live in Stromboli. It seems surrealism for us.
Thank you for sharing of video. Best wishes from Stockholm - Sweden

I don’t think this footage captures the absolute stunning beauty of Stromboli and the Aeoilian islands. I visited Panarea (Stromboli is right there in front of you when you arrive at the port of Panarea & it’s a magnificent view) I think you have to visit to appreciate the sense of majesty and intense serenity of the Aeolian islands. It’s a feeling you can’t describe with words.Sono rimasta senza parole - queste isole sono allucinanti❤

the most dangerous island is one that has a silent volcano, not Stromboli. ironically, that it is in almost continuous eruption is what makes it safer than most volcanic islands... I would consider the island of Vulcano, also in the Isole Aeolie, as actually more dangerous than Stromboli....

Another great documentary on this channel. Wonderful work, great editing and camerawork, perfect soundtrack. Really exquisite. Thank you!

Thoroughly enjoyed this film, especially the style in which it was done. I lived on Tresco, Isles of Scilly for a few years. I can understand how people are drawn to an island life. But, living with a volcano in your backyard, must be very different indeed. I wish I grew up in a place like that.

It has everything you need, except a barber shop.

I visited Stromboli in 2006. It was, let's say peaceful. But a boulder the size of a railroad car I have seen changed my mind.

[davidsavage]

Such a great job conveying the essence of what it feels like to live on this island.

[kaioshine]

Masterpiece, this tells a story so well. Thank you for this!

Stromboli Island is beautiful.Great food, great people and there is a barber shop lol.

[Iskandar]

I especially loved the fishermen who looked like they were models for Michelangelo. It was a very evocative piece and a wonderful distraction in these uncertain lockdown times.

[heavypen]

Masterful. Fabulous imagery blended with that powerful soundtrack by Carlo Purpura. I found myself wanting to move there...

[ucheucheuche]

This is the world's most dangerous island. People be looking up travel tickets.

[paulmichaelfreedman]

I'm a tech guy myself but it's also good to see that the simple, timeless life still exists on secluded pockets of the world.

[CornyCF]

I was there in 2008 it is so beautiful and awesome! At the Top we saw Ashclouds!

[dorzsboss]

No, Stromboli is not the most dangerous island. It is far from that. This vulcano has mild to moderate eruptions.

[chrisburlo]

a hauntingly beautiful amazing island ! really wish to visit again for a longer stay though !!
