Description:
"Krakatoa," a 1933 American short documentary by Joe Rock, recounts the devastating 1883 eruption of Krakatoa. The film details how the explosion blew half the island into the atmosphere, triggering a massive tsunami and an atmospheric wave felt around the world seven times. Tons of volcanic dust were ejected, darkening the sun globally for months. "Krakatoa" received the Academy Award in 1934 for Best Short Subject (Novelty).
