AFP reporting; says it all really. Would have been far edgier to focus on the untold story of the massive destruction up the road, than the safe bet of selling Fukushima drama.
well I suppose he is happy by latching onto some association to say “I’m more than happy to be here because the Berlinale has got a long history of showing all those political, socially conscious films,” Atsushi Funahashi, director of “Nuclear Nation,” told AFP.

"With slow panoramic sweeps of battered buildings by the sea, thick piles of rubble, boats lying on their side and crumpled cars, the film opens saying that images of destruction are “always difficult to digest."
Yes most of that destruction was done in the prefectures/countys next door to Fukushima.
The real epic tragedy was up the road
... which "the world deserves to know about" as it was mostly overlooked by the business of media selling and cutting from history by news editors concentrating on Fukushima which has far less devastation, although nicely preserved so easier to film later in no exclusion zones.

"No way will China attack Japan. A good businessman does not kill his good customer."

A disgrace that for no valid reason the recovery is hindered because of political pandering’s to the local mum and people that are not intelligent enough to know better. Let be clear there is ZERO reason to not accept materials from tohoku that do not pose any threat as has been the case already.

"The report... assuming they did one around Chernobyl, should reflect the same findings as that of the Russians."
Which maybe some of the posters here should read the many international studies around Chernobyl by people tat know what they are talking about and realise what the biggest problems are...looks like they could include themselves in that.
I'm sure like Chernobyl, the tests will go on for years as an interesting study for the scientists. But the health care providers/government better start to concentrate on the mental health care/stress/depression and support more if they want to learn something from Chernobyl and stop further deaths.

The biggest killer and health issues so far and in the future post the disaster will be as a result of stress. Even stress from fear of radiation which actually isn’t any real risk. Therefore keep up the entertainment if it works as part of the picture of support to that.

"With the internet, who needs TV?" evidently the internet needs it!
and that is the major recent developments/achievements in the tv world this year.
"internet services" on the TV are the way forward and especially useful for internationally minded people although the service doesn't deliver yet.
