Fukushima: Les voix silencieuses (2016)

True story of an American volunteer who discovered the unvarnished truth about the Fukushima nuclear disaster cover-up while living in Japan. A critical look at how the authorities handled the nuclear crisis and Tsunami relief by an American who volunteered in the clean-up.

In the aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, a Japanese farmer ekes out a solitary existence within the radiation red zone.

Chernobyl 1986. A nuclear reactor exploded, spewing out massive quantities of radiation into the atmosphere. Within days, the pollution had spread across Europe. Living on land contaminated with radioactivity would be a life-changing ordeal for the people of Belarus, but also for the Sami reindeer herders of central Norway. It even affected the Gaels of the distant Hebrides. Five years ago there was a meltdown at the Fukushima reactor, and thousands of Japanese people found their homes, fields and farms irradiated, just as had happened in Europe. This international documentary, filmed in Belarus, Japan, the lands of Norway's Sami reindeer herders and in the Outer Hebrides, poses the question: what lessons have we learned?

매스컴의 발표를 믿지 못해서 동네 구석구석을 다니며 방사능 오염을 측정하는 주부 시바타 씨. 더 이상 일본엔 안전한 곳이 없다며 손주의 장래를 걱정 할 때마다 울먹이는 구로타 할머니… 원전 사고의 후유증은 여전히 현재 진행 중이며 그 끝을 예측조차 할 수 없다는 사실에 일본인들의 불안과 공포는 하루하루 증폭되어 가고 있다. 아무도 이야기 해주지 않는 후쿠시마의 두려운 미래를 찾아 17인의 평범한 시민들이 죽음의 땅으로 위험한 여정에 나섰다. 우크라이나 정부의 허가를 받고 어렵게 들어간 체르노빌 현장은 충격적이었다. 인구 5만이 살던 첨단 도시는 폐허로 변했고, 일부에선 놀랍게도 허용치의 300배가 넘는 방사선량이 검출된다는 사실에 모두들 경악했다. 강제 이주민들은 여전히 죽음의 공포와 실향의 서러움에서 벗어나지 못하고 있으며, 나이 어린 피폭 2세들은 병명조차 알 수 없는 각종 질환에 시달리고 있다. 28년이 흘렀지만 아직도 끝나지 않은 체르노빌 사고의 심각한 후유증... 후쿠시마는 어디로 가는 것일까? 과연 일본은 비상구를 찾을 수 있을까?

We return to Fukushima five years after the nuclear disaster caused by a tsunami. What issues does the clean up operation face? What progress has been made in dealing with this major disaster, especially in the detection and removal of melted nuclear fuel?

2011년 3월 11일. 동일본 대지진이 일어난 후 정치부 기자인 나베시마는 지진과 정부의 대처를 취재하던 중, 무언가 심상찮은 일이 일어나고 있음을 눈치챈다. 어렵사리 얻어낸 정보는, 지진으로 후쿠시마 원전 냉각장치가 멈추었다는 것! 그러나 정보는 제한되어 있고 정부의 대처는 답답하기만 하다. 직접 도비(東日)전력 원자력부에 몸담았던 요코하마씨를 찾아내 취재하는 나베시마. 그러나 그가 말해주는 진실들은 더욱 놀라운데…

'No-go zone' chronicles the daily life of the last man remained in the red zone after the evacuation of the Fukushima area and the nuclear power plant accident.

Six months after the explosions at the Fukushima nuclear plant and the release of radiation there, Professor Jim Al-Khalili sets out to discover whether nuclear power is safe. He begins in Japan, where he meets some of the tens of thousands of people who have been evacuated from the exclusion zone. He travels to an abandoned village just outside the zone to witness a nuclear clean-up operation. Jim draws on the latest scientific findings from Japan and from the previous explosion at Chernobyl to understand how dangerous the release of radiation is likely to be and what that means for our trust in nuclear power.

젊은 독일 여성 마리는 자신의 삶을 변화시키기 위해 후쿠시 마로 도망치듯 떠나온다. 클라운즈 포 헬프(Clowns4Help) 라는 단체와 함께 일하며 2011년 후쿠시마 원전사고의 생존 자들에게 기쁨을 전해줄 수 있길 바란 것이다. 마리는 오래 지나지 않아, 자신이 그 비극에서 고달픔을 덜어내는 임무에 전혀 적합하지 않다는 것을 깨닫게 된다. 하지만 마리는 거 기서 도망치기보다 성미가 고약한 사토미라는 이름의 노인 과 함께 지내기로 결정한다. (2016년 제18회 서울국제여성영화제)

The Radiant explores the aftermath of March 11, 2011, when the Tohoku earthquake triggered a tsunami that killed many thousands and caused the partial meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on the east coast of Japan. Burdened by the difficult task of representing the invisible aftermath of nuclear fallout, The Radiant travels through time and space to invoke the historical promises of nuclear energy and the threats of radiation that converge in Japan in the months immediately following the disaster.

Two weeks after the earthquake, writer and movie director Tatsuya Mori, journalist Takeharu Watai, movie director Yojyu Matsubayashi, and movie producer Takuji Yasuoka, headed for the disaster stricken area, not thinking this film would become a production. "Only to confirm the situation" was their common objective.

Since the 3/11 Great East Japan Earthquake, Fukushima is infamous worldwide for the radioactive contamination as a result of the explosion at the Daiichi (No.1) Nuclear Power Plant. However there is an untold story about what happened to the people living in the area after the Tsunami and Nuclear Disaster.

Documentary about the nuclear disaster that arose after a tsunami hit nuclear power plants Fukushima I and II. Employees who were present at the time of the disaster tell their story.

The exciting story of the splitting of the atom, a scientific breakthrough of incalculable importance that ushered in the nuclear age, has a dark side: the many events in which people were exposed to radiation, both intentionally and by accident.

Naraho town in Fukushima Prefecture is on the front-line of the government-funded nuclear power plant decommissioning work. Kokuhei Kusunoki is transferred from Aizu Wakamatsu City to Naraho Town to take over the Disaster PR Division. Murai takes Kokuhei around Fukushima including areas washed away by the tsunami. They examine the still incomplete railway lines, the unfinished decontamination area and villages in the danger zone, where deadly cesium continues to pile up. One day Kokuhei is told to organize a party to celebrate the professor who has been appointed as deputy director of the Atomic Energy Research Institute.
