"I spent six months volunteering in northeast Japan after the Fukushima disaster, and subsequently interviewed individuals from all walks of life, including TEPCO employees," stated Christopher Noland, Director, "3.11: Surviving Japan." While documenting the cleanup efforts, I quickly uncovered the Japanese government's inadequate responses, and how officials misled the Japanese people regarding life-threatening radiation levels, emergency food and water supplies. "

"The film offers unique insights into a post-disaster present-day situation where millions of people are left to fend for themselves, and are blatantly told that a nuclear fall-out environment is safe.".-Christopher Noland, Director, "3.11: Surviving Japan".
