Ep. - 1251 - TWISTER: CAUGHT IN THE STORM

Alexandra Lacey, director of Twister: Caught in the Storm, a Netflix documentary.     Set against a backdrop of end-of-the-world predictions on May 22, 2011, this coming-of-age feature-length documentary is told from the perspective of a group of young people in Joplin, Missouri, as they encounter the extreme power of Mother Nature when a rare EF-5, mile-wide monster tornado hits their hometown on high school graduation day. In the fierce 200 mph winds of the twister, they discover the power of their resilience as they fight for survival - each with a transformative story spurred by their experiences of that day. This catastrophic event ravaged Joplin, and yet its community overcame, rebuilt, and became an enduring symbol of hope. The film features adrenaline-inducing real-life footage, filmed by people in Joplin, taking us into the eye of the storm.        Reality Life with Kate Casey  What to Watch List: https://katecasey.substack.com  Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katecasey  Twitter: https://twitter.com/katecasey  Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/katecaseyca  Tik Tok: http://www.tiktok.com/itskatecasey  Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/113157919338245  Amazon List: https://www.amazon.com/shop/katecasey  Like it to Know It: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/katecasey See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
