THIS IS A VIRTUAL EVENT
10 years since the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster, many Japanese people, not to mention the rest of the world, have forgotten one of the greatest nuclear disasters in the recent history. Thousands of victims still continue to struggle to this day while Japan, eager to move on, devotes its resources to the Tokyo Olympics. This 2018 award-winning film by Toshikuni Doi introduces 14 voices from over the 100 people he interviewed since the nuclear disaster.

The screening will be followed by a Q and A with the Director, with interpretation by Tsukuru Fors Lauritzen.

 
Schedule
4:00 - 4:10 PM  Introduction by Professor Katsuya Hirano
4:10 - 6:20 PM  Screening of "Fukushima Speaks"
6:25 - 7:00 PM  Q and A with Director Doi
