Film Preview: The Impossible

It was only a matter of time before somebody took the tragic events of the tsunami that swept Asia in 2004 from the Indian Ocean. It happened on Boxing Day of that year and was a devastating event that was covered endlessly by the new media at the time with millions of people donating to charity to help the cause. The film stars Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts as a couple caught up in the disaster, this is their second collaboration after the 2005 movie Stay. The film was released at the Toronto Film Festival in September of this year.
