Nothing is stronger than the human spirit. A powerful story based on one family’s survival of the 2004 tsunami.
Maria, Henry and their three sons begin their winter vacation in Thailand, looking forward to a few days in tropical paradise. But, on the morning of December 26th, as the family relaxes around the pool after their Christmas festivities, a terrifying roar rises up from the center of the earth. As Maria freezes in fear, a huge wall of black water races across the hotel grounds toward her.
Based on a true story, this is the unforgettable account of a family caught, with tens of thousands of others, in the mayhem of one of the worst natural catastrophes of our time. The true-life terror is tempered by the unexpected displays of compassion, courage and simple kindness that Maria and her family encounter during the darkest hours of their lives. Both epic and intimate, devastating and uplifting, the film is a journey to the core of the human heart.
