On March 11, 2011, a magnitude-9 earthquake and tsunami struck Japan, leading to a catastrophic disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. The resulting event caused a significant release of radioactive materials into the environment. Over the past 13 years, continuous efforts have been made to rebuild and decontaminate the affected areas. However, challenges persist, including the controversial discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea. Recently, CGTN ventured into the most severely impacted regions, measuring nuclear radiation levels and uncovering the ongoing consequences of the 2011 accident. The documentary delves into the resilience of the local communities and the complexities involved in restoring the region to safety.
