A tale of personal loss, survival and hope, this HBO mini-series focuses on the harrowing aftermath of the tsunami that devastated the coast of Thailand on December 26, 2004. Filmed on location in Thailand, Tsunami, The Aftermath follows a group of characters whose lives are irrevocably transformed by the cataclysmic natural disaster. Among those whose stories are followed are: a young couple searching for their child; a Thai survivor who loses his family and tries to prevent developers from seizing the land his village is built on; an Englishwoman whose husband and son are missing; an ambitious reporter; a relief worker; an overwhelmed British official whose faith in the system is torn apart; and a leading Thai meteorologist, whose earlier report detailing the inevitability of a tsunami hitting the affected area was ignored.
HBO has announced Tsunami: The Aftermath for release on April 24. This 2-disc set will include the entire mini-series, along with "The Story Behind The Film" and "Recreating Nature's Fury." The DVDs include an Anamorphic Widescreen (1.78:1) transfer, along with English and Spanish stereo tracks (we hope they just forgot to mention that there's also a 5.1 track). Retail is $29.98.
