So all the horror stories about Fukushima and the massive amounts of radioctive outpourings are all conspiracy stuff ? Please don't take this wrong, and I admire the sentiments behind the project, but I have misgivings. The "Japan is OK " meme was confirmed with the Olympics 2020 decision.
When these so called "news" agencies give more coverage to a pregnant panda or a "royal" sprog than a nuclear meltdown I tend to get a bit blase' about "news".
I wonder on which planet you're living or I wonder what you're smoking!?
The movie is not about Fukushima disaster but about a personal spiritual journey, like Richard said.
When the tsunami and nuclear catastrophe happened, her sister and family who live just 100 km from the nuclear power plant , had to leave her city for few weeks without knowing if they will come back home again.
They are safe because they live enough far from the nuclear power plant.
They can't eat local food products, but the mountains all around their area protect substantially from radioactivity.
They are lucky that their hometown isn't one of few ghost cities in Fukushima prefecture.
What happened in March 2011 somewhere helped a certain reconciliation with her sister. But I repeat... the film is not about nuclear meltdown!!
BTW the radioactive outpourings go on and go on.
Of course, there's no problems for 2020 Olympics, Tokyo is safe, and yeah Japan is kind of OK,
but the situation in Fukushima is not under control, really far from it.
The nuclear disaster will be problematic for the next decades for a big part of Fukushima prefecture, contaminated beaches and ocean.

I don't know which kind of funny news you are looking at, but I never heard about those pregnant royal pandas!
Like you, generally, people have very short interest about any kind of news when they are not directly concerned. I figure that's understandable.
But fortunately, there are people who care and who think they can help and do something.
In my case, I usually feel concern by any ecological problems on our planet and especially very curious about all the human wrong actions behind it.
And the Japanese disaster is all about it! Nuclear power plants near beaches on a shaking land like this... building cities in middle of
very vulnerable spots on the coast...
By the way, if you have a nice boat and have a project to make a beautiful trip in north-west Pacific, this link will give you an idea
about the nice trip that is waiting for you!
