A British couple desperately searching for their daughter, a Thai survivor who loses his family and tries to prevent developers from seizing the land his village is built on, an ambitious reporter, an overwhelmed British official whose faith in the system is torn apart, a mother fighting to get her injured son back to the UK, and a leading Thai meteorologist, whose earlier report detailing the inevitability of a tsunami was ignored. Examining the lessons raised by a disaster of this magnitude, Tsunami: The Aftermath forces us to examine the practical and diplomatic realities of coping with an event of this magnitude while allowing a painful, emotional look at how it affects ordinary people.
