BBC Three to air Hurricane Sandy doc

A new documentary looking at the events of Hurricane Sandy is to air on BBC Three.

Superstorm USA: Caught on Camera explores the devastation caused by the storm as seen through mobile phone and personal camera footage.
The hour-long special will air next Thursday at 10pm on the channel and has been produced by Mentorn Media.

Executive Producer Steve Anderson, says: “From the moment that weather forecasters made their predictions, people in New York and New Jersey documented the preparations, and then the frightening reality.
“Trees uprooting, power stations exploding and people being evacuated from homes while waist-deep in water; everything has been caught on personal phones and cameras by a generation that understands the power of instant video messaging.”

The freak storm is believed to have left 110 casualties in its wake across the US and Carribbean, as well as causing mass damage to property.
Mentorn are still accepting footage of the hurricane captured on iPhones or mini-cam and can be contacted via Twitter (@BBCSandyCam) or email (dgilmore@mentorn.tv).
