Information the world needs NOW take action
slader80125 March 2023
It's really unfortunate how the mainstream media narrative doesn't cover this topic very much. This film does a great job of telling an important story and a warning to take action immediately to protect our oceans from dangerous radioactive materials. It is under an hour long so anyone can find time to view it.

It contains lots of great footage to make you feel like you're in Japan taking a look at what happened. This could be one of the most important documentaries of the year if the world will listen to its warning.

The editing was great, and the best part is, its not funded by any organizations, agendas, or big corporations. This was a film made by the people for the people. Now how many times do you get to see that? Extremely rare that some big corporation doesn't have their hands in it. But not here, this is a great look at a serious situation. Watch. Learn. Take action by writing your government representatives.

Brilliant - and The Antidote to Oliver Stone
lhalevy6 April 2023
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.
primall-2011426 March 2023
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.

I really wanted to enjoy this one....but
fallout33022 March 2023
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.

REVEALING
sssellars30 April 2023
Unlike the typical media source that treats news as entertainment, Philippe Carillo's documentary respects his audience with a serious look at an epic catastrophe that keeps on giving, like a spigot with no shutoff.

If you pay attention to the content of The Fukushima Disaster: The Hidden Side of the Story, you can only conclude that nuclear is not a solution: it's a tool of unbounded destruction. When it goes wrong, it goes devastatingly wrong, devoid of true recourse. That's a risk too great to take, but the film makes clear how a few greed-induced individuals -- including world leaders -- continue to put humanity and the planet at critical stake for personal and political gain.

Amazing Important film for all to see!
ssenkiw9 April 2023
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!
