Description: 'Nuclear issue' is her next subject for director Sakata Masako, who revealed long-term effects caused by defoliant in her early films, "Agent Orange - a Personal Requiem"and "Living the Silent Spring". Shocked by the reality brought about by the nuclear disaster at Fukushima Daiichi Power Plant, she came to realize the significance of an anti-nuclear campaign once more, in which her deceased mother had been engaged over ten years. She set out on a journey to investigate the history of nuclear power, which has been doubly exploited as a weapon and power resource. She firstly visited her sister living in an island in France, located on the opposite side of the shore where a nuclear-reprocessing plant exists. She met people displaced from their home land Marshall Islands, where massive nuclear weapons tests repeatedly took place. She then flew to Kazakhstan to witness how local people live their lives on the land contaminated by nuclear tests during the USSR period. Japan is a country having experienced nuclear disaster three times in the past: Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Daigo Fukuryu Maru incident. On the other hand, we've been promoting nuclear energy policy aiming at 'exploiting nuclear for the sake of peace'. This documentary is the culmination of Sakata Masako's devoted study on nuclear issue with a collection of silent voices of the people whose lives were tossed about by atomic energy.
