Fukushima: A Nuclear Nightmare on SBS and SBS on Demand – In March 2011, Japan was hit by the strongest earthquake in its history.
The ensuing tsunami overwhelmed the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, plunging the nation into its gravest crisis since World War II.
Fukushima: A Nuclear Nightmare tells the story of nine harrowing days minute by minute – from the control-room engineers fighting to prevent a total meltdown, to the political leaders confronting an unthinkable evacuation, to ordinary citizens caught in the fallout.
Directed by James Jones and Megumi Inman, the film is a gripping and immersive account of courage, chaos, and the thin line between heroism and catastrophe.
