He stayed there for one full night.

He had seen someone

and he spoke to him.

We... It's said that John Frum

uses the volcano as a portal,

a doorway, to travel

from Tanna to America.

Does John Frum live inside the volcano?

He's telling us that John Frum

has a special room that he's living in.

But there is one day that we will meet him

in a different form of a person,

like Jesus.

When I was on the volcano...

I found it amazing to watch,

but also quite terrifying.

How did you feel spending a whole night

up in the crater?

Were you afraid?

He's telling us

that when he went there

and spent the night,

he wasn't afraid

because he knows that

that is God,

and He's the one

that's allowing him to go there.

So, he went inside the volcano

and he saw Him,

and he spoke to Him.

They had a conversation.

Are you allowed to tell us

what the conversation was about?

He says that the message

that the spirit gave to him,

he didn't tell to his father

and even the followers

that are following John Frum.

It is only for him.

I'm a volcano man.

You can't whisper it to me in my ear?

It is hard

to take your eyes off the fire

that burns deep under our feet,

everywhere, under the crust

of the continents and sea beds.

It is a fire that wants to burst forth,

and it could not care less

about what we are doing up here.

This boiling mass

is just monumentally indifferent

to scurrying roaches,

retarded reptiles

and vapid humans alike.

When I went there...

I started to walk to the lava lake.

I didn't think that I would see something

like what I saw.

And when I looked down there...

I thought that I was looking

at the seawater.

But it was red.

And I didn't understand.

I started to think about

why there's water there

and the water is red.

I didn't understand.

I thought that perhaps this fire

will someday come

to that seawater.

So, I was very frightened.

According to our culture,

I think the volcano will...

will destroy everything.

I believe that.

Because I hear about,

from various people,

that there are volcanoes

around the world.

And I think that, uh...

I believe that someday

this volcano will erupt,

and the one at Lopevi,

and they will join together

and will burn everybody.

This is what I'm thinking of.

I think everything will melt.

That's what I'm thinking.

Everything will melt.

The stone, the soil...

trees and everything, will melt.

Like water.

And so, I believe that this volcano

will destroy this world someday.

Werner Herzog

Werner Herzog (German: [ˈvɛɐ̯nɐ ˈhɛɐ̯tsoːk]; born 5 September 1942) is a German screenwriter, film director, author, actor, and opera director. Herzog is a figure of the New German Cinema, along with Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Margarethe von Trotta, Volker Schlöndorff, Werner Schröter, and Wim Wenders. Herzog's films often feature ambitious protagonists with impossible dreams, people with unique talents in obscure fields, or individuals who are in conflict with nature.French filmmaker François Truffaut once called Herzog "the most important film director alive." American film critic Roger Ebert said that Herzog "has never created a single film that is compromised, shameful, made for pragmatic reasons, or uninteresting. Even his failures are spectacular." He was named one of the world's 100 most influential people by Time magazine in 2009. more…
