We’ve heard the reports and told the stories of Japan, how it’s facing its worst crisis since World War II, about a death toll in the tens of thousands, the massive destruction of entire cities, and continuing threats of nuclear meltdown. Now, here’s more terrifying news: The threat of earthquakes hasn’t gone away – it has increased. Thomas Jordan is the Director of the Southern California Earthquake Center.

Collum Macrae is one of the producers of the documentary.
