Its days like this I'm greatfull where I live (Scotland) for the sake that earthquakes have a 1% chance of ever happening in my country. Lets go to China the biggest populated country in the world, it's 1976 Tangshan City in Hebei province on July 28, the world's worst earthqauke destroy's the area with a 7.8 on richter scale killing nearly 250,000 people and injuring just as many, its a tragic event. 

Feng Xiaogang's movie AFTERSHOCK is centered around this event following the tragic events through the eyes of a little girl. This is not a disaster movie as in the sense of fictional Towering Inferno, this is based on a true event which no one ever wants to see but tragically does occour, this is a weepie folks an emotional rollercoaster ride.
The movie is due out on July 22nd in china and will be the country's first produced IMAX movie and the poster on the left is for the American release  as in when it is I dont have or even if there's a UK release too, hopefully there will be.
Check the synopsis and trailer, Featruette after the break...

When a mother is informed by the rescue team that, as her 7-year old twins are buried under the debris close to each other, digging one out would result in further collapse of the wreckage on the other, she is forced to make the most difficult decision of her life. As the clock ticked away, she finally ended her struggle and chose to save the boy, and though heartbroken, she had no idea her decision was overheard by the daughter. Deemed as a dead person, the little girl miraculously survived and was rescued after being buried under for days. Suffering from the emotional shock of the disaster and the painful memory of her mother's choice, she refused to reveal whom she was. She was adopted by a young couple and later moved to the US, but shadowed by the traumatic experience from her childhood, she forever remained emotionally closed up.

When the Sichuan earthquake takes over 80,000 lives in 2008, she volunteers to join the rescue team and returns to her homeland, China. As she witnesses the tribulations people go through when a natural disaster takes place, she finally unlocks the pain she had felt all these years and finds forgiveness. She finally reunites with the mother and twin brother she had parted from after 32 years. A human drama about finding forgiveness, 'Aftershock' depicts not only the fatal tragedy that is brought on by a natural disaster of great levels, but also the strength and courage that is demonstrated when we are in face of extreme and devastating situations.
