The Day the Wave Came. The Tsunami Disaster
Description
The world is still coming to terms with the magnitude and impact of the tsunami that decimated the coastline around the Indian Ocean on December 26, 2004. This documentary introduces newspaper reporter Ross Coulthart, who traveled across the region soon after the tragedy occurred to record the survivors' stories. He provides a minute-by-minute account of what happened in countries most affected by the disaster. The Day the Wave Came is a comprehensive retelling of how events unfolded. Why no warnings were issued is explained, and the individual stories of how people survived and what the impact has been on their shattered lives are retold.
