Greensburg is an American television series based around rebuilding a whole town from the ground up as an entirely green community. On May 4, 2007, Greensburg, Kansas was struck by a deadly EF-5 tornado that destroyed 95% of the town, leaving the rest as severely damaged. The tornado was later estimated to be 1.7 miles wide, which was wider than the town itself. This series depicts the lives and daily struggles of the residents of this town and their ability to turn their city into a role model for the entire planet. Issues arise as the city government draws up plans for the buildings while residents continue to live in FEMA town trailers, among many other complications. This inspirational story documents exactly what can happen when people lose all that they own; they survive, rebuild, and then learn to thrive again within their new community that is not only better than it was for the people, but also for the planet.MORE
