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! MY ATOMIC AUNT <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c865.shtml?utm_source=SURTSU_newre lease&utm_campaign=SURTSU+NR&utm_medium=email> 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.
