5/5 stars. This was a fascinating and sobering watch. I never heard much about the 1906 quake until I read Travers by Sara Dean. It was very interesting to compare this documentary to her first-hand source. That was truly a terrible tragedy, and there is much to learn from it. An excellent documentary on a historic occurrence that should be remembered.
