Powerful, Disturbing Short Film Set In Near-Future Tokyo - Please Spread!

All I can say is.....wow. Please share this with others, hopefully this global tragedy will not be kept in the closet any longer.

This is a PR production.

I don't see how it represents reality.

What's the video about ?

I'm asking on behalf of those other members who, like me, live in rural areas with poor internet connections.

People walking around with gas masks and a little girl that looks like she had surgery on her neck. Very nice camera lighting. A bit melodramatic.

Boncho gives it 3 out of 5 stars.

It's a short-video, Twilight Zone type premise about a possible future should the world continue to rely on nuclear energy. It is disturbing, meant to make the viewer question the safety of and logic of continuing to use/rely on such a power source and the effect it may have on future generations...

ETA: Good imagery.

Much better representation.

It's dramatic, exaggerated and totally biased, but well played.

S+F

Thanks for the excellent summary LS, that is spot on!

Did you catch the subtle imagery in the subway at 1:25? A reference to the Japanese gov's attempts to keep people from talking openly about the severity of what is happening all around them. "Keep your eyes closed, keep your mouth shut, nothing to see here, move along". So sad that they are, at least for now, getting away with it.

As tragic as such things are, if you don't want iradiated thyroids, all you have to do is overdose on uncontaminated Iodine. The excess flushses out your system, and you won't have a buildup of radioactive isotopes in your thyroid.

Really now you don't maybe look a little deeper into it to me says the children and the people in general are having their voices taken or in other words not being heard and sadly the children who have become orphans after the tsunami i wonder what happens to them and do they have a say in things its very sad and daunting situation over there.

His future little girl will have thyroid cancer.

At least that is the message I get. But its all good because now the scars in modern medicine hardly show at all. (sarcasm)
