    Part of the Third Annual Windrider Film Forum: Conversations at the Intersection of Faith and Film, The Third Wave is a film about the 2004 Asian tsunami disaster, in which four independent volunteers race off to Sri Lanka to see if they can help. With little money or experience, they arrive in the main city, meeting each other by fate, rent a van fill it with supplies and drive off along the coast. They stumble into Peraliya, a tribal village devastated by a 40 foot tsunami wave, leaving more than 2500 people dead. What was originally a two-week journey spirals into a year-long odyssey of hope, heartbreak and setbacks as the villagers slowly begin to rise up against them when the world's donated tsunami money never materializes. The volunteers break every rule in the ‘Disaster Aid books’ and out of the rubble an entire village is re-born. The Third Wave is a roadmap for volunteering: it chronicles that in a world of increased natural and manmade disasters, Everyone’s needed. No experience required.

    The film will be followed by a VIP reception at 8:15 p.m. (additional fee required).

    The Windrider Film Forum features 2008 film festival selections, thought-provoking documentaries, and award-winning short films. Each film will be followed by a Q&A session with the filmmakers and a time for discussion. Sponsored by the Fuller Theological Seminary, the CC Chaplain's Office and the CC Summer Festival of the Arts.
