Return to Tsunami

Director: Bill Malone

Ireland. 2005| 27 mins


Some 250,000 people died last St Stephen’s Day. RT?’s Late Late Show producer Bill Malone was in Khao Lak (Thailand) on that day, when a 10-metre high tidal wave devasted the region, destroying everything in its path and leaving over 4,000 people dead in this sparsely populated tourist paradise. Although caught in the wave, Bill miraculously escaped. Three months later he is drawn back to the place he should have died, to try and piece together how he escaped and to document his personal story. Shown with Little Soldiers of Irish.
