Thai voices on "The Impossible" and the tsunami

What do Thais think when they see “The Impossible”? We asked several Thai community development professionals, some of whom were involved in tsunami relief. After seeing this powerful film we captured their views on culture, disaster preparedness, traditional Thai knowledge, and storytelling and memory. ThaiVoices on the Impossible - ByTsunamiPlus10

Struggle in the East – on the outside looking in, into a refugee camp It was a day when even a former grantmaker plausibly following up on his work feels exploitative.
