Tsunami photographer
One of the most striking images of the Indian ocean tsunami of 2004 showed an Indian woman prostrate on the sand with her arms outstretched, mourning a relative who had been killed. It was named World Press photograph of the year. The picture was taken by photojournalist Arko Datta and - five years on - he set off on an emotional journey to try to find the woman in the picture. The resulting journey is part of a new multi media documentary.
