In March 2011, Japan suffered its most powerful earthquake in a thousand years. A towering tsunami followed, breaching the Fukushima nuclear plant’s 10-metre-high seawalls - and triggering a crisis that threatened to become ten times worse than Chernobyl.
Fukushima: A Nuclear Nightmare is the definitive chronicle of this unprecedented disaster. Epic, immersive and unflinching, the film blends testimony from the Fukushima 50 – the engineers, technicians and firefighters who donned radiation suits and remained on site – with breathtaking archive footage to document events as they unfolded, minute by minute.
An unforgettable yet redemptive story of survival, ingenuity and the fight to pull back from the brink, Fukushima: A Nuclear Nightmare is both a cautionary tale and a powerful testament to human resilience.
