[GPSCC-chat] Fukushima Never Again - San Jose, April 13 Green Party Movie night

[Tian Harter]

FUKUSHIMA NEVER AGAIN

“Fukushima, Never Again” tells the story of the Fukushima nuclear plant 
melt downs in northeast Japan in March of 2011 and exposes the cover-up 
by TEPCO and the Japanese government. This is the first film shown in 
the United States that interviews the mothers of Fukushima, nuclear 
power experts and trade unionists who are fighting for justice and the 
protection of the children and the people of Japan and the world. The 
residents and citizens were forced to buy their own geiger counters and 
radiation dosimeters in order to test their communities to find out if 
they were in danger. The government said contaminated soil in children’s 
school grounds was safe and then when the people found out it was 
contaminated and removed the topsoil, the government and TEPCO refused 
to remove it from the school grounds. It also relays how the nuclear 
energy program for “peaceful atoms” was brought to Japan under the 
auspices of the US military occupation. It also looks at the criminal 
cover-up of the safety dangers of the plant by TEPCO and GE management, 
which built the plant in Fukushima. Included is an interview with Kei 
Sugaoka, the GE nuclear plant inspector from the bay area who exposed 
cover-ups in the safety at the Fukushima plant and was retaliated 
against by GE.

This documentary allows the voices of the people and workers to speak 
out about the reality of the disaster and what this means not only for 
the people of Japan but the people of the world as the US government and 
nuclear industry continue to push for more new plants and government 
subsidies. This film breaks the information blockade story line of the 
corporate media in Japan, the US and around the world that Fukushima is 
over.
