Inside Japan’s Nuclear Meldown

Inside Japan’s Nuclear Meldown is an account of the crisis inside the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant after a huge earthquake and tsunami struck Japan on March 11, 2011. With exclusive eyewitness testimony from key figures in the saga–including the Japanese prime minister and senior executives at the power company TEPCO–the film tells the story of the workers struggling frantically to reconnect power inside the plant’s pitch-dark and highly radioactive reactor buildings; the nuclear experts and officials in the prime minister’s office fighting to get information as the crisis spiralled out of control; and the plant manager who disobeyed his executives’ orders when he thought it would save the lives of his workers.
