MANILA, Philippines - Beginning tomorrow, Aug. 22, GMA 7, through Greenpeace advocate Richard Gutierrez, brings full environmental awareness to television viewers as it unravels some of the most destructive natural disasters in our planet’s history with its latest monthly documental series titled Anatomy Of A Disaster.
A more comprehensive version of Richard’s former infotainment show Full Force Nature, Anatomy of a Disaster features different stories of tragedy, survival, and heroism adapted from the international AOD series of the same title. Each of the 13 episodes provides a scientific and detailed account of various natural disasters such as volcanic eruption, flood, hurricane, earthquake and climate change, among others, in local and international contexts.
For its local component, Richard will revisit some of the most catastrophic calamities ever to strike our country through interviews with environmental experts, eyewitness accounts and actual footage and deliver his spiels entirely on location.
The pilot episode in Volcanic Eruption will take viewers on an exhilarating trek up Mt. Pinatubo as Richard vividly narrates its earth-shattering eruption in 1990. The explosion, which triggered the second largest earthquake recorded that year, took away hundreds of innocent lives and destroyed thousands of homes in Zambales and nearby provinces.
