The Day That Changed My Life
New Zealand | 2015 | 58 min | Dir. Christopher Dudman

It is a moving tribute to the people of Christchurch.
Survivors, who were interviewed in the immediate aftermath of the February 2011 earthquake in Christchurch, share their stories of panic and heart-breaking loss, courage and miraculous survival, in a way that is truly inspiring and heroic.
