In a period of unprecedented climatic changes, this feature film (also a 3 episode serials), focuses on a violently destructive force yet essential to life on earth: the tropical storm. At the leading edge of science and at the boundaries of wilderness, this documentary goes well beyond the media hype by uncovering the mechanisms of these powerful storms and the way they shape planetary life. For the first time, the devastating effects of the storms are entirely considered form the wilderness point of view.
