TSUNAMI - Director's Cut

In 2004, I worked as Divemaster in Trincomalee/Sri Lanka and Khao Lak/Thailand. On 12th 26th 2004, the Tsunami hit the coasts of Southasia. My friends survived; their dive centres were completely destroyed. In the beginning of 2006, I travelled to Banda Aceh/Sumatra and made pro bono a documentary about the aftermath of the Tsunami. It was a support for the German NGO Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe and the German NGO Kindernothilfe to gain more donations for the Tsunami victims. From my point of view today, the film is a hommage to all the people who helped the victims of the Tsunami. #tsunami #khaolak #trincomalee #srilanka #bandaaceh #kindernothilfe #diakonie_katastrophenhilfe #danielburkholz #roadsidefilm #divecentre #divemaster
