Port Blair, Jan 07: Tragic story of devastations and human endurance that had occupied reams of newsprint over the last 12 days, will now be the subject of a film with its director here planning a celluloid venture on Tsunami and the imprint it has left on thousands of life in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Scouring relief camps and listening to the survivors' accounts, the island-based film maker Mukeswar Lal is hunting for just that right story which would portray the enormity of Tsunami fury.
''There is the man who has to perform the last rite of his wife missing for 13 days, along side his daughter whose body he recovered minus the gold ornament and surprisingly in a dress different from what she was wearing when the waves caught her.
''Such stories have been stirring me from within'', Lal said here.
The film-maker, who has talked to Mahesh Bhatt Production Company and would begin work as soon as the logistics of the island become more navigable, said the film would talk of the living dead, stories of the miracles and also the survivors who are fighting it back.
