In the wake of the most powerful tsunami in recent history, survivors share harrowing accounts of grief and loss. The savage waves claimed the lives of Delisa Fitri’s mother and sister, and even crushed her leg. 20 years on, she reflects on her perilous journey to get back on her feet.
Renowned scientist Professor Nazli Ismail explains the miraculous survival of the Rahmatullah Mosque that withstood the tsunami’s wrath. Having spent much of his childhood in the mosque, he reflects on how the tsunami brought a new wave of development to his hometown.
