Tsunami(2021)

Tsunami is a documentary series that recounts the devastating Boxing Day Tsunami of 2004, which claimed over 250,000 lives across the Indian Ocean. Presented by Dr Xand van Tulleken and Raksha Dave, the series examines the science behind one of history's deadliest natural disasters. Through firsthand accounts and expert analysis, it traces how a massive undersea earthquake triggered catastrophic waves that swept across multiple countries in minutes. The programme explores the human impact alongside the geological forces that created this tragedy, revealing stories of survival and loss from affected communities. Combining scientific investigation with personal narratives, Tsunami offers both an educational look at plate tectonics and seismic activity, and a respectful tribute to those impacted by the disaster.
