For the first time, I know what it feels like to have a heart. My heart is beating fast and loud, but it's not exactly scary. It's funny - my body goes into overdrive when I'm afraid or panicked, but now that I've been introduced to this new sensation, I don't seem as afraid of the future. There is something incredibly reassuring about feeling your chest tighten, your face go flush and your blood pound in your ears and through every vein in your body.
Guts is the true story of a 6-story tidal wave that devastated the shoreline of Thailand in 2004. With over six thousand fatalities, this natural disaster has been turned into a science fiction tale that explores the nature of life, death, hope and despair.
