Cannes – Discovery Networks International has commissioned Darlow Smithson Productions (DSP) to produce a one-hour Special examining the recent events that have devastated Japan. MegaQuake: Hour That Shook Japan (1×60’) will count the human, scientific and global cost of nature on the most technologically advanced country on Earth. The one hour programme premieres on Discovery Channel in the UK and the US on April 24 at 10pm and will roll out to other international regions immediately following. MegaQuake: Hour That Shook Japan will re-live the moment when the quake and then the tsunami hit through interviews with those who experienced the horror and filmed their own remarkable footage on the day. Poignant testimonies of those now living as refugees will unfold the eight minutes between the nine-category quake and the tidal wave that travelled at 500 miles an hour. By studying the Pacific Ring of Fire – a name given to the region which has been devastated by natural disasters in recent years – MegaQuake: Hour That Shook Japan will assess whether the Earth’s tectonic plates are in a phase of increased activity which is likely to result in further seismic events. Through interviews with seismologists and oceanographers, the documentary will piece together where Mother Nature might strike next.
