‘Bhuj: The Day India’ essays the survivors of the shock, gathers eyewitness accounts and first-hand footage to retrace the steps of this destructive emergency that not only changed how one looks at earthquakes in India, but also urban planning, medical revolution, and the eventual formation of a national disaster relief force in its aftermath.
The documentary utilises key archival footage like videos, photographs, newspaper headlines and satellite images of Gujarat to illustrate the mishap and the consequence.
