The Twister: Caught in the Storm

"Joplin"

"It was definitely interesting to watch a weather theme documentary especially on tornados but I did find myself bored at the end which might just be a me problem 😅 "

"2025. Great documentary about the Joplin tornado and its devastation. "

"This documentary is masterfully crafted, evoking a deep sense of anxiety that lingers throughout its runtime. It immerses you completely into the events of 2011 in Joplin, Missouri, capturing the raw reality of a community facing unimaginable hardship. Through the lens of personal stories and haunting ring/security footage, it conveys the heartbreak, resilience, and humanity of those who lived through this tragedy. You don't just watch—you feel every moment, as if you're right there with them. "

"Being someone who was in a house that was totally destroyed in a tornado when I was 6 years old I can relate to this. Something that Traumatic you never forget. They spoke of being inside a store and seeing the sky. I remember coming out of the basement and just seeing the sky from where the roof and the whole living room and dining room of the house ripped entirely away. The outside was inside trees, a street sign, etc the contents from inside the home were outside and the disoriented feeling of seeing the town looking nothing like it did before the storm. Now in my 30s and about the age of the survivors in the documentary and can relate to their current viewpoints. Tornados aren't something to mess with. "

"Such a powerful documentary. The added footage from survivors was incredible. The interviews were impactful and full of detail. It was an honor to hear about people’s experiences. The survivor Steven was funny. This documentary made me cry and laugh. "

"More impactful than I expected. The interviews were gripping, the imagery eye opening. Sometimes when a disaster like this happens you notice, but you move on. This documentary really made me think again."
