Fukushima: Nuclear Nightmare

A reconstruction of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster reveals what happened behind the walls of the power plant after an earthquake and tsunami disabled the safety systems on which thousands of lives depended.

On March 11, 2011, Japan was struck by one of the most devastating earthquakes in its history, followed by a tsunami that triggered a catastrophe whose true scale only became clear later. The film captures the chaos and critical decisions of the first hours, as well as the courage of those who remained at the plant when it faced complete collapse.

Their story brings together human bravery with systemic failure, inadequate preparedness, and questions of responsibility on the part of the plant operator.
