Abstract  This film provides an expose of a government's response to a natural disaster. Filmed in Sri Lanka after the Asian tsunami, it reveals ulterior motives behind a new law that prevented the survivors from rebuilding their homes along the island's coastline. Told through the stories of two survivors and an aid worker, the film provides a sensitive depiction of the lives of those people who waited in tents while the global industry repositioned itself on their land.
