Oooo.
This mini-documentary explores the history and wildlife of Montserrat, a UK Overseas Territory in the Caribbean. A series of volcanic eruptions began in 1995 and destroyed the capital Plymouth, which today is a modern-day pompeii. Tragically Pymouth today is a ghost town and two thirds of Montserrat lies in an exclusion zone. But the northern third of the island is home to approximately 5,000 Montserratians, and an incredible diversity of wildlife, including 10 species of bats, red-footed tortoises and a unique bird called the Montserrat Oriole. The island’s tropical forests are recovering, as are diverse reefs offshore.
