Ordinary Lives (2012) Online

How important it is to continue our ordinary lives. We realize it only when we get into a disaster. Can you imagine how difficult to live under high radioactive environment? We interviewed some fifty Fukushima people in April and September, 2011. This movie reveals the inner struggles of children, mothers and people around them. Fukushima is a 'battle field' to keep the lives of ordinary people off from radioactivity. Similar life threatening human disaster could happen to you anywhere, anytime in the world. This movie is an extraordinary documentary to show the world the inner sufferings of Fukushima people very silently.

Unimaginable. A nuclear crisis in your village or town. You have to leave and go live in a sports hall with hundreds of other people and you have NO idea when you can go home. Or you are allowed to stay in your home - but the authorities suggest removing the top 20 cm of soil off your garden. And don't let the children play outside for more than 30 minutes in one day. And then your children ask: "Will I die young? When will I die?"

Unimaginable. But the film quietly and gently takes us there to meet people in north Japan that this happened to. One day in spring their ordinary lives changed. Shot in and around the Fukushima area in the months following the crisis, this is a documentary about how people of that area lived through the experience. It is not a dramatic, overtly political documentary. Director Yoshida lets his lens sit sympathetically with interviewees as they explain how to check the radiation in the garden and drive to rescue their dogs from inside the nuclear fallout zone. And you'll wonder by the end - where are these people now? How much have their lives changed?
