"Half-Life in Fukushima" is half of a documentary. Long, boring shots of an evacuated city and countryside, a few uninformed comments about "radiation", and glances of demolition and garbage pickup, with no explanation or attempt at fact finding. People living and working in the area show that the evacuations were an over-reaction to minimal radiation danger; slow clean-up of Tsunami damage is ruining the area as a human habitation. Overall, there's the alarmist "environmental" mentality implying that the Nuclear Power plant somehow caused the Earthquake/Tsunami.Show more
