The devastation experienced by the town - dead livestock left to rot, crops abandoned, homes and businesses destroyed - was infinitely worse than anything reported by the newspapers. A year later, many refugees are still unable to return to contaminated homes. The irony of this disaster occurring in a nation that experienced two nuclear bombs is not lost on the victims who poignantly question their responsibility for striking a Faustian bargain with nuclear power. Nuclear Nation examines the tragedy of Fukushima, and also whether it could one day be replicated on a grand scale - perhaps in your own backyard. "This film will force you to reassess all the arguments for and against nuclear power."- The New York Times. "Worthy and troubling. Director Atsushi Funahashi uses his camera as silent witness to what, up to now, has not been fully seen and acknowledged." - RogerEbert.com "An assured and sobering documentary. Employing straightforward, music-free aesthetics that express the grim realities of his story, Funahashi captures both grief and outrage in equal measure, all of it tinged with the displaced and desolate citizens' regret over having predicated their fates on the very energy-source technology that cost them so much during WWII." - The Village Voice. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Fukushima Nuclear Disaster, Japan, 2011 650 0 Nuclear power plants|xNuclear reactor accidents|zJapan. 655 7 Documentary films.|2lcgft 700 1 Funahashi, Atsushi,|d1963-.|efilm director. 710 2 Kanopy (Firm) 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.kanopy.com/node/137608|zAvailable on Kanopy 856 42 |zCover Image|uhttps://www.kanopy.com/node/137608/external -image
