The
Third Wave film was shot in Sri Lanka following the
2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. It was directed by Australian
film maker Alison Thompson and Italian producer Oscar
Gubernati.
Plot
After
the 2004 Asian tsunami disaster, four independent
volunteers, with little money and no experience, race
off to volunteer in tsunami ravaged Sri Lanka. They
meet up by fate at the Colombo airport and form a
volunteer team. They rent a van, fill it with supplies
and start driving down the coast to see where they
can help. They stumble into a tribal village called
Peraliya, which has been destroyed by a forty foot
wave. During the time the wave hit Peraliya, a train
called "The Queen of the Sea" was passing
by and was washed away killing over 2500 passengers
and villagers. The Four volunteers set up a first
aid station and found themselves in charge of running
a refugee camp with over 3000 people. Their initial
two week journey turns into a year long odyssey of
heartbreak and hope as the villagers turn against
them when donated tsunami relief money does not materialize.
The volunteers concentrate on the bigger picture and
break every rule in the 'Disaster Aid Books'.
