    Spine-tingling and Bone-chilling

    I just got done watching this on YouTube and currently has 158K views and although has been linked to some conspiracy theorists like Wikileaks Founder Assange, the Danger is real and cannot be ignored and is thoroughly educational. The views and opinions expressed in this documentary do not necessarily reflect political views and opinions, Something sadly Gen Z knows nothing about.

    I really wanted to enjoy this one....but

    I really wanted to enjoy this documentary, but unfortunately this was not possible due the feeling of it being a bit one sided and not providing a balanced view. I felt at times, as if I was watching a one-sided argument on the subject matter with limited intellectual stimulation. Much of the information I already knew about, which added to the "less than stimulated", experience. There was only a small portion dedicated to possible new solutions of cleaning up radioactive contamination. I would have like to have seen more interviews with people working in the Nuclear Energy Sector. My wife, who was the motivating factor in renting this one, was also left with a feeling not enjoying it as much as she expected. Left with a feeling of "Lacking" unfortunately.

    Brilliant - and The Antidote to Oliver Stone

    Brilliantly well done. This film tells the truth about nuclear reactor dangers and explains radiation with animation in a way that is clear for the non-scientifically trained. No jargon, just the simple truth spelled out in a way that normal people can understand. Well shot, well edited - and anger! We deserve to be angry about what happened at Fukushima, the attempts to cover up the impact of the radiation releases, and how the difficulty is ongoing - virtually forever. It's a great argument against any new nuclear reactors being built, and against allowing the ones that are in operation to continue. Many thanks to director Philippe. Carillo for his vision and excellence.

    WATCH this.

    The MSM will not show you what is in this documentary. So many other important things that are suppressed by the "authorities". It is essential to view this documentary. Well made and comprehensive. Notable also is that there was a push to go "renewable" after the disaster. But then that changed when Abe became PM. And we know what happened to him. One cannot help but wonder who else might have a hand in this complicated story. We hear reports from the UN. One wonders where the delightful WEF is in this story. The events that have taken place around the world since 2020 would make any reasonable person question the official narrative. Watch this documentary. Be informed.

    Amazing Important film for all to see!

    Director Philippe Carillo has made an important documentary about the truth of what happened and is still happening in Japan since the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant disaster on March 11, 2011. The Nuclear Power Industry and Japan have continued to lie and cover up what happened, and the ongoing contamination of our planet and rise in cancers worldwide. Even now the Japanese government wants to dump more radioactive waste into the Pacific Ocean. It also shows the activism fighting to reduce the contamination going forward, and hope from innovative solutions that already exist. I highly recommend this film!
