Fukushima Never Again includes interviews with the mothers of Fukushima, nuclear power experts and trade unionists. The residents and citizens of the area were forced to buy their own geiger counters and radiation dosimeters in order to test their communities to find out if they were in danger. When the government said soil in children’s school grounds was safe and residents discovered it was contaminated, both the government and TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company) refused to remove the soil from school grounds. Fukushima, Never Again tells the story of what happened in the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami that led to the Fukushima nuclear power plant meltdowns in northeast Japan in March of 2011 and provides an alternate narrative to the story-line that “the Fukushima disaster is over”.
