Ring of Fire: An Indonesian Odyssey


The Ring of Fire: An Indonesian Odyssey is a series of five documentary films following the decade-long Wanderjahr of the filmmaker/sibling partnership Lorne and Lawrence Blair.

With financing from investors including the BBC and Ringo Starr, the Blair Brothers arrived in Indonesia from England in 1972. Then the Indonesian archipelago offered isolation for neolithic cultures and their indigenous beliefs. The Blair Brothers spent over two decades documenting the relationships of island ecology and their peoples. One result of the Blair's work was a PBS-distributed multi-media package- an oversized picture book, alongside the Emmy-nominated BBC/PBS television series Ring of Fire.

Cut from 80 hours of 16mm film in co-production with WGBH-TV, Boston, RING OF FIRE was produced, directed and photographed by Lorne Blair and co-produced and written by Lawrence Blair. Executive producer was Frontline's David Fanning.
