Hi All,
I'm writing from Women Make Movies, the leading nonprofit distributor of
films by and about women. I thought the members of this listserv would
be interested in our newest release, SURVIVING THE TSUNAMI - MY ATOMIC
AUNT, a captivating educational resource Time Out London calls a
"...haunting and moving documentary..."
March 11 marks the three year anniversary of the Fukushima nuclear
disaster. SURVIVING THE TSUNAMI - MY ATOMIC AUNT is a strong addition to
classrooms, organizations and libraries as a timely reminder of
Fukushima's continuing meltdown. This insightful, often funny film
offers fresh perspectives on Japanese national identity and today's most
pressing global concerns around nuclear energy.
I'm including some additional info on SURVIVING THE TSUNAMI - MY ATOMIC
AUNT and the related special offer. Please feel free to contact me with
any questions, and thanks as always for supporting independent women
filmmakers!

Film director Kyoko Miyake remembered Namie, a fishing village ravaged
by the 2011 Fukushima nuclear catastrophe, as her childhood paradise.
Revisiting her family's hometown after 10 years abroad, Miayke's
multilayered documentary examines the disaster's profound personal,
social and environmental impact.
While Namie's younger generations have permanently relocated elsewhere,
Miyake's Aunt Kuniko, like other older residents, has clung to dreams of
eventually returning to her home. Over the course of a year, Miyake
follows this warm, indomitable businesswoman as she recalls happy family
memories and strives to adapt to life outside the contamination zone. In
the process, Kuniko starts questioning her unconditional trust in
Fukushima's plant operators and pro-nuclear past in a community that
once hoped to house a nuclear power station.
