A film from Thailand and other areas hit by Tsunami

A new TV film is on BBC2 next week, Tsunami: The Aftermath. The maker Abi Morgan says in The Guardian, "... to make Tsunami a fiction was that you can't do justice to an individual story. You can't fulfil what someone would want you to, so I told an amalgam of stories. But there's nothing in there that isn't based on fact, even the most shocking events."

This approach sounds somewhat a "common sense", when a filmmaker is telling a story of hundreds of people and one event. I reckon with this approach one doesn't make a hero out of a sole person among many who might have all been heros, or how would she pick the hero?
In The Telegraph is an interesting bit about shoestring film making in UK, "From London to Brigthon."
