It’s been just over a year since a massive tornado leveled Greensburg, KS and rebuilding efforts have hit full swing since Inhabitat last reported. If you’ve been wondering what all the buzz is about, you’ll soon get an inside look at what’s been going on, thanks to Planet Green. Tune in Sunday, June 15th at 9pm ET/PT for the world premiere of GREENSBURG, an epic 13-part docu-series that chronicles the rebirth of this proud Kansas town (also catch a sneak preview on Friday, June 13th). Executive produced by Leo di Caprio’s Appian Way and Craig Piligian’s Pilgrim Films and Television, the series will showcase the Greensburg experiment as an example for the rest of the world to follow.
