“Gripping… devastating”

The Guardian

“Startling… inspiring”

The New York Times

“Gripping… a non-fiction thriller.

 While essentially a disaster film, the visually alarming and nerve-racking “Fukushima” is also a cross-cultural psychodrama, about an industry, and perhaps a society, having a meltdown all its own.”

Wall Street Journal

“Brutal, but vital viewing.”

Decider

“Part epic disaster movie and part pressure-cooker thriller… an alarming reminder of how close we are to an apocalypse.”

Esquire

Fukushima presents the definitive account of Japan’s struggle as it faced a nuclear catastrophe while still reeling from the devastation of an earthquake and tsunami. Documenting the disaster as it unfolded—minute by minute—the documentary offers unprecedented access to the Fukushima 50, the courageous group of men inside the nuclear power plant who risked their lives to prevent a meltdown. It also follows the survivors attempting to escape the devastation and nuclear fallout, as well as the high-ranking government officials racing against time to contain the crisis.
