Documentary tells real story of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant evacuees

TOKYO — Two years after Japan’s great earthquake and the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster comes a documentary that tells of the citizens who still can’t return home to Iitate in Fukushima due to the high levels of radiation.

Pouch film critic Kaori Saito was given the opportunity to check out the film production of “Iitate Village, the Problem of Radiation and Returning Home” (in Japanese “Iitate-mura hoshano to kison”) before it was released to the Japanese public on May 4. Kaori comments that the work deserves particular credit for its delicate treatment of the continuing problem of radiation and the depiction of the struggles of the inhabitants affected.
