MUMBAI: Super Cyclone produced by Miditech is set to premiere on the National Geographic Channel on 20 January at 9 pm.

The documentary tracks file footage of never seen before devastation, powerful recreations and first person accounts. It studies this catastrophe closely, which accounted for more than 10,000 deaths and made millions homeless. The documentary builds on conclusive evidence that the toll on human life was a result of inadequate prediction of the cyclone’s landfall and intensity, as wrong areas were evacuated.

Produced for global telecast, Super Cyclone chases cyclones along India’s coast, Australia and US Air Force base in Guam to meet scientists working on early cyclone prediction says Miditech vice president documentaries Pria Somiah. The documentary suggests that early warnings will help evacuate and reduce the effects of cyclones along vulnerable and highly populated coastal areas.

Super Cyclone has been directed by Animitra Chakravarty and follows Nuncio Murukesh, a researcher from the Indian Institute of Oceanography who is mapping a potential cyclone in the Eastern coast of India. The film moves between scientific research in the Pacific shores of Guam and chasing cyclones in Queensland, Australia and India.
