Soliciting Aid and Awareness

Mini-series 2004 Tsunami BBC2 and Warner Brothers’ HBO filmed a two-part television mini-series.
Victims to be extras: “It’s disgusting. I almost had a heart attack when I saw a bunch of wrecked cars and a longtail boat up by the bridge. The first moment was pretty terrible-real déjà vu.
