The Big Wet | Motorists trapped by floodwaters tell their life stories HD

On Friday 1 May 2015, there was a record downpour in SE Qld, causing widespread flash flooding. On the Bruce Highway, thousands of motorists were trapped bumper to bumper, some for up to eight hours. We were stuck in the middle of it all... but had our camera gear in the car. When you are stranded in the dark, wet and cold with thousands of other strangers for hours on end, where does your mind wander to? We interviewed some of the total strangers who became our neighbours and captured the bizarre community that formed during our time trapped there.
