Oglethorpe Presents Tsunami Documentary With Filmmaker Q&A

ATLANTA -- Oglethorpe University presents a screening of “Walking Wounded - A Diary of a Great Disaster,” by filmmaker Eric Williams, on Wednesday, March 2 at 7 p.m. in the Lupton Auditorium. There will be a question and answer session with Williams after the documentary, which explores the human struggle following the December 26, 2004 tsunami.

Out the Box Entertainment’s “Walking Wounded,” by African-American filmmaker Eric Williams, chronicles the journey of three Californian relief workers in Sri Lanka beginning three days after the tsunami hit. Williams also documented the aftermath in Indonesia. “I wanted to visit the Ache region which had been closed off to foreigners until the disaster occurred,” Williams said. “I spent more than a week in the Ache province, where I subsisted on crackers and water while documenting this catastrophic event.”  More information about "Walking Wounded" and Out the Box Entertainment can be found on their website.

“Walking Wounded: A Diary of a Great Disaster”
