The film ‘Aftershock’ follows the fortunes of four groups of people in the minutes, hours and days after Wellington is destroyed by “the big one” - a magnitude 8.2 earthquake and subsequent tsunami. Buried office workers who must pull together; strangers, caught by the tsunami on the ruined motorway, who put themselves in danger to save another; a mother who must reunite her family; and, at the centre of the rescue operation, the controller bunkered down at the Wellington Emergency Management Office.
