相馬看花 ―第一部 奪われた土地の記憶―

Nippon Visions   ½ 

Amongst the many documentaries that were made after 3-11, FUKUSHIMA: MEMORIES OF A LOST LANDSCAPE is without doubt one of the most touching films. Director MATSUBAYASHI did not only approach and depict his subject matter in a most respectful way but did not hesitate to involve himself emotionally.
