Sichuan Earthquake 四川大地震 (Sichuan Erdbeben)
This is a documentary film about the Beichuan Memorial Site in China, based on the magnitude 8.0 Sichuan earthquake on 12.5.2008. When I visited Beichuan in April 2012, I spontaneously decided to make a short documentary report about this emotional place. Walking through the ruins of the old town reminded me of how weak and helpless humans are when it comes to a natural disaster. The old town of Beichuan is a terrifying and mind-expanding instance of the humans equation to the strength of nature.
blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted (MTW 5.4)

CHINA: EARTHQUAKE DISASTER HITS YUNNAN PROVINCE
Mandarin/Eng/Nat
A strong earthquake has hit China's poor rural southwest, leaving 20-thousand people homeless.
There were no reports of casualties from the initial shock which happened at 3-30 P-M local time (0730 GMT) and registered 5-point-1 on the Richter scale.
It followed a succession of earthquakes in recent weeks which the local community is still struggling to recover from.
The latest in a series of earthquakes to hit one of China's poorest regions has toppled more than 8-thousand buildings.
Twenty-thousand people have been left homeless.
The disaster was the third to strike Yunnan in two weeks.
A pair of powerful quakes on November 20th killed five people, injured 4-thousand and left 25-thousand homeless in the Ninglang region along the border with Sichuan province, 300 kilometres (188 miles) west of Xuanwei.
One of the victims described how the first quake served as a warning which allowed them to evacuate their house before the second tremor struck.
SOUNDBITE: (Yi dialect)
There were two earthquakes, when the first one struck we all ran out of the house, then the second one hit, and it was then that the house collapsed.
SUPER CAPTION: Vox pop, Earthquake victim
Eight-thousand buildings collapsed in Tuesday's quake which hit Yunnan province's Xuanwei county shortly after 3-30 p-m local time (0730 GMT).
Many reportedly belonged to poor farming families scattered across 24 villages.
Villagers said that some families lost many of their pigs and cows - the source of their livelihood.
Seismologists say there could be more coming in the remote mountains of China's Yunnan province.
Until now, reports say there have been few injuries and no deaths in Tuesday's quake.
This surgeon described some of the casualties in Ninglang.
SOUNDBITE: (Mandarin)
On the first night five seriously injured were brought in, then the next day another fourteen. The most seriously injured have broken bones, multiple fractures and flesh wounds.
SUPER CAPTION: Doctor Li Shennian, Chief surgeon, Ninglang hospital
The magnitude of the 5-point-1 quake in Xuanwei county left those buildings still standing weakened and cracked.
Villagers say that they may have to be demolished.
After a summer of devastating floods the Chinese government is struggling to deal with the latest in a string of natural disasters to hit the country.
SOUNDBITE; (English)
From what we understand there are at least twenty five thousand homeless people. The government is doing a pretty good job distributing rice, basic food and some blankets. What we are mostly worried about is the weather, because it can get very cold here
and once it starts snowing the road can be blocked and the people will have nothing.
SUPER CAPTION: Odilon Couzin, Co-ordinator, Doctors Without Borders
Many of those left homeless in the Ninglang quake are still shivering through nights of freezing temperatures with little or no shelter.
