Fukushima: A Nuclear Nightmare
The film sets out to be the definitive account of Japan's struggle with a nuclear catastrophe that struck while the country was still reeling from an earthquake and tsunami. The tagline frames it as nine days to save a nation, and the documentary follows that window through the people who lived it, mixing documentary, drama and history rather than settling on one.
Those people appear as themselves: Naoto Kan, Ikuo Izawa, Carl Pilliteri, Wakana Yokoyama, Martin Fackler, Katsuaki Hirano, Katsutaka Idogawa and Manabu Terata. James Jones and Megumi Inman direct; their previous film together, Chernobyl: The Lost Tapes, took a similar approach to another reactor disaster. It runs 1h 30m and carries an R rating.
IMDb voters have given it 7.1 from 974 votes. There is no Kinopoisk score in the data.
