Fires of Kuwait | 1992 | Kuwait Oil Field Disaster Documentary
Published in 1992 and titled "Fires of Kuwait", this film delves into a chapter of history marked by devastation and resilience, chronicling the aftermath of one of the most dire environmental catastrophes of the late 20th century.

The film is a riveting exploration of the efforts made by independent contractors tasked with taming these man-made volcanoes. Through in-depth accounts, "Fires of Kuwait" unfolds the story of these unsung heroes, whose battle against the relentless fires was as much a fight to protect the environment as it was a race against time.
