The Boxing Day Tsunami claimed 35,000 lives in Sri Lanka, making the death toll in the country the second highest after Indonesia. On that fateful day, the Matara Express train was swept off its tracks by massive waves, resulting in the deaths of more than 1,700 passengers and marking it as the deadliest railway disaster in history. Two decades later, survivors and those who lost loved ones reflect on the events of that tragic day.
“Tsunami: Stories of Survival” is an in-depth documentary produced by ABC’s Asia Pacific Newsroom. Filmed across Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and India, this documentary captures untold stories of survival, resilience, healing and connection over the last two decades after the waves have receded.
