WHere HeaVen<br />

Meets Hell<br />

by sasha friedlander<br />

Deep in the rain forests of Eastern Java, Indonesia, lies<br />

the active volcano, Kawah Ijen, where 500 sulphur<br />

miners carrying backbreaking loads, traverse treacherous<br />

terrain amidst spectacular vistas and toxic gases.<br />

Where Heaven Meets Hell relays the stories of four of<br />

these miners, who risk their lives and health daily in<br />

an industry we rely on for sugar, matches and cosmetics.<br />

This visually stunning and intimate film chronicles<br />

their attempts to escape the endemic poverty and<br />

lack of education that haunts their community. Drawing<br />

strength from their families and Muslim faith, these<br />

miners inspire us as they search for meaning in their<br />

daily struggles and triumphs.<br />
