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

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.

It has everything you need, except a barber shop.

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....

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❤

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

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.

been there in the 80s for some time, great memories

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

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.

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

Stromboli, the Island without street lights 💯❤️😎

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

I have a fascination with island communities. This was beautiful and I suspect its poetic style will reveal more with repeated viewings. Which it will certainly receive from me! There is a film of similar poetic beauty, and focus on its people, about Tristam de Cunha elsewhere on Fb which I thoroughly recommend. I don't have the link to hand but a simple search will find it. Happy viewing.
