Synopsis of the film:

Four years on, rehabilitation with an unprecedented level of

humanitarian support has helped a large number of tsunami-affected

people get back their livelihoods. At the same time tsunami

rehabilitation is also the story of failed promises and missed

lessons.

There are still people living in bad quality houses and dilapidated

structures that might collapse anytime. There are many poeple left out

of the rehabilitation process. This scenario raises questions about

humanitarian standards and the rights of disaster-affected people.

Besides, there is the challenge of ensuring safe life on the coasts.

There is also the issue of involuntary relocation of people from the

coasts and dilution of coastal environmental norms to make way for

business as part of the global neoliberal agenda.

In the film humanitarian workers and local communities analyse these

aspects of rehabilitation and seek answers.
