Why Watch This

Most Boxing Day tsunami documentaries focus on one location; this one is structured geographically, following the wave itself from Indonesia through Thailand and on to Sri Lanka, which gives a genuine sense of scale that single-location accounts miss.

If Tsunami: Race Against Time's geographic scope worked for you, In the Eye of the Storm and Katrina: Come Hell and High Water cover disaster from a similarly wide-lens perspective.
