Fukushima: Yearning for Home

Fukushima Evacuees Face Difficult Choices After the nuclear accident at Fukushima, the government restricted access to the area within 20km of the power plant. But as radiation levels fell, the area was divided into a zone to which residents might be able to return and another that remains unlivable. This program focuses on 2 towns, Namie and Futaba that ended up with very different fates. We look at the hard choices residents had to make to move on with their lives.
