Aftershock

This award-winning telefilm imagines the effects of a major earthquake on New Zealand’s capital city, and how its citizens react to chaos, isolation and tsunami. It was completed in 2008 — before Christchurch took Wellington’s mantle as New Zealand's shakiest city, and made Aftershock's imagined scenes a reality. Aftershock was produced for TV3 by Wellington production company The Gibson Group, and written by veteran scriptwriter Graeme Tetley (Out of the Blue, Vigil). The following week saw the debut of Aftershock - Would You Survive?, which put a real-life family through a three-day survival test.
