Reinventing Survival

Each programme allows viewers to experience the story from the moment tragedy strikes, following every beat of the rescue operation as it unfolds. The UGC content is intercut with powerful interview footage of the rescuers, the survivors and the helpless and anxious family members who waited to hear news of their loved ones.

Exec Produced by Lucie Ridout for Arrow Pictures, John Smithson is Creative Director.
