The Price of Paradise: Memories of Montserrat

David Lea

The Story of the eruption of the Soufriere Hills Volcano This film depicts the drama that unfolds upon the unsuspecting Caribbean community of Montserratians whose lives were forever changed when volcanic activity begins in the most unexpected way. The tragedy and the resilience portrayed here in just one of the films from the complete Price of Paradise film series, helps explain the true story of what actually happened in what turned into two decades of activity. Beyond the error-prone reporting of sensationalized media groups from afar, this film shows the reality of what happened to a precious island and its people.
