Yushu – Rising from the rubble
This was a film I shot in June 2010 in Jyeckundo, Tibet. A devastating earthquake struck on April 14 2010, registering a magnitude of 6.9 and killing 2,698 people with many thousands injured. We visited to make a film about the re-construction operation. The earthquake has become known as the Yushu earthquake. Yushu is a county in the province of Qinghai. Historically it is actually in Tibet despite what the Chinese government claims.
