This region is known for its production of fruits and vegetables and saw its lands covered by the ashes of Sinabung and ruined crops. Nearby, a nascent tourism development, related to the thermal baths of the Sibayak volcano , has also suffered. The volcano has disrupted local practices : the displaced population could not hold the usual funeral processions in villages .
As the doctor Surono said , " the inhabitants of the Karo district must now get used to the new Sinabung ."
Interviews with farmers , families , children , but also scientific and humanitarian leaders will illustrate the film.
