A2-B-C

Nippon Visions   ½ 

Eighteen months after the nuclear meltdown in Fukushima, children in the surrounding areas are suffering from severe nose bleeds and developing skin rashes and thyroid cysts. Citing a lack of transparency in the official medical testing of their children and the ineffectiveness of the decontamination of their homes and schools, the children’s mothers take radiation monitoring into their own hands.
