China's Unnatural Disaster: The Tears of Sichuan Province plot

On May 12, 2008, a catastrophic earthquake struck Sichuan province in rural China, killing nearly 70,000 people, including 10,000 children. In town after town, poorly built schools collapsed, wiping out classrooms filled with students, most of whom were their parents' only children. But when grieving mothers and fathers sought explanation and justice, they found their way barred by incompetence, corruption and empty promises.
