520    March 11, 2011: A huge tsunami triggered by an 8.9 
       magnitude earthquake hits Japan, crippling the Fukushima 
       Daiichi nuclear power plant, releasing radiation, and 
       turning the residents of Futaba into "nuclear refugees." 
       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.
