On the fateful night of December 22, 2018, the Sunda Strait was struck by a devastating tsunami, triggered by the eruption of Anak Krakatoa. This natural disaster brought unimaginable destruction to the coastal regions of Java and Sumatra, leaving a profound impact on the lives of those who call these shores home. In the aftermath of the waves, there is a poignant silence that speaks volumes. The once vibrant coastal villages, now scarred by nature’s fury, tell stories of loss and hope, despair and renewal.
