Forces of Nature

Alternate Title(s): Formerly Natural Disasters: Forces of Nature

A great paradox underpins our existence: the forces that make life possible also imperil it. In FORCES OF NATURE, audiences will experience the spectacle of tornadoes, floods, erupting volcanoes, hurricanes and their aftermath.

Viewers will also gain insight, as they learn how these natural disasters occur and what scientists and engineers are doing to predict and prepare for events and to minimize damage in the future. Audiences will be inspired as they meet courageous survivors determined to rebuild.
