Description

'The Blue Dragon' describes the terror of the catastrophic tsunami that hit Sri Lanka in December 2004. It focuses on a group of children - Hanseni, her siblings Awade and Manori, and their friend Nishian - their individual experiences, and how they managed to pull through this horrendous event. Overcoming their fears the children struggle against the forces of nature, fighting against the odds to save themselves and their friends.
