Far From Futaba: 10 Years of Nuclear Exile

Located just 3 kilometers from the crippled nuclear plant, Futaba is the only evacuated town in Fukushima Prefecture whose residents have yet to return. Although other municipalities are recovering and welcoming back their residents, Futaba remains deserted. From the 60s to the 80s, the town flourished on so-called nuclear money, with its people enjoying steady jobs and government subsidies. This documentary depicts 10 years of Futaba residents' nuclear exile and the true cost of atomic energy.
