NGCI, NHNZ On Board China Quake Doc

BEIJING: NHNZ is teaming with Beijing’s Yuanchun Media and National Geographic Channels International (NGCI) for an hour-long special about the massive earthquake that struck China’s Sichuan province in May of last year.

The quake, which measured 7.9 on the Richter scale, resulted in the deaths of 80,000 people. According to NHNZ’s managing director, Michael Stedman, the project has secured "unprecedented access" to footage of the areas devastated by the natural disaster. The hour-long special, China Quake, will air worldwide later this year.
