Hitomi KAMANAKA 鎌仲ひとみ
Little Voices From Fukushima
小さき声のカノン－選択する人々
Nippon Visions ½
The name Fukushima has become a synonym for the dangers of nuclear energy, much like Chernobyl. Director Hitomi KAMANAKA analyzes the parallels between the two disasters, travelling to the affected regions in Japan and Belarus. Her interest and compassion lies with the families, especially the children and their mothers who try to protect them. This film lets their voices be heard.
