StoryCast '21: EP1/21 Miracle Boy

On 26th December 2004, one of the deadliest disasters in modern history played out when a Tsunami led to almost 230,000 deaths in south east Asia. Amid the devastation, a Sky News camera crew discover an 8-year-old boy. Their subsequent report is seen by Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese footballer, known to many as the greatest player of his generation, but less so for his role in this remarkable survival story.Miracle Boy was written, recorded and produced by Robert MulhernAdditional recordings, photos and video, Fira IsrofillahSpecial thanks to this episodes contributors, Martunis, Phil Hooper (Sky News Camera Operator) Martin Vowles (Sky News Security Advisor), and Donncha Brady (Martunis as a child)Digital, Tom GillespieSound Design, Robert MulhernSky News Head of Radio, Dave TerrisTV treatment, Victoria Hudson-GrantTV output editor, Emily DeekerArchive, Simon WindsorSocial media, Chris ScottGraphics and design, Brian GillinghamPress and marketing, Alexandra HortonNew episode every Monday
