It
is just under a year since a massive earthquake devastated
Gujarat. And to mark the day (26 January, Republic Day to
be exact), national broadcaster Doordadarshan is showcasing
a two-part film Rebuilding Lives.
Produced by Miditech, DD will air Rebuilding Lives
on 25 and 26 January at 9:00 pm. Case studies will be analysed
which show that hope is till flickering. The first half
looks at how the lives of three families were affected.
The second part will show the rehabilitation going on in
the villages.
Miditech felt that after the initial furore created most
people have forgotten the tragedy. This is therefore an
attempt to jog the memory.
Meanwhile through the Radio you can hear Mahesh Dattani's
play Clearing The Rubble. It will be aired on BBC World
Service on 26 and 27 Jan. Three people whose lives were
affected speak of the damage caused. An English journalist
was in the region at the time of the catastrophe and now
he goes back a year later. He is trying to track a boy he
had met when he was clearing the mess. The program will
be followed by an interview with a survivor of the calamity.
