From the countless articles about the aftermath of the Cephalonia quakes, perhaps none captures the present state of the island better than the short documentary film that was created by a German family that live on the island.
The 5-minute film was produced by Tim and Nils Kullack, both in their twenties, and they received a lot of support from their parents Daniel and Alexandra. The family is originally from Germany but has made Cephalonia its home for a number of years now. Reference to Enet article Click HERE.
Accompanied by a haunting soundtrack the video shows the extensive damage caused by the two 6.0 magnitude (plus) earthquakes that came within a week of each other on the island. Aside from these two major tremors that have severely damaged buildings, roads and caused a number of landslides, the island has also been shaken by hundreds of smaller aftershocks.
All this destruction, together with a fear that an even bigger quake may occur, has kept island residents on edge. Luckily only a few injuries were reported and we did not mourn any fatalities, nonetheless hundreds of families have been living in cars and tents for over a week in poor weather.
