A film still from The Volcano Manifesto shows a Black man standing in the middle of the woods, leaning on a walking stick. His face is tense with concern, eyes shifted to the side and focused on something off screen. Behind him, large rocks rise out of frame into the sky, and he is surrounded by patches of trees,bushes, and other foliage.
