This award-winning documentary stars the living Earth, and the powerful
unpredictability of earthquakes. We follow the parallel stories of two
similar fault lines – the San Andreas in California, and Turkey’s North
Anatolian, where we accompany a team of geologists responding to the
major 1999 tremor.
Weaving together science, history and the challenges faced by
scientists, emergency responders and public officials, this half-hour
profiles the wide variety of experts working to understand and minimize
future natural disasters.
