The Toxic Pigs of Fukushima
Documentary
Jury's Stellar • 2021
35 min
New York, NY, US
The Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011 triggered a tsunami, nuclear meltdown and mass evacuations in Fukushima Prefecture. As part of a government push to encourage resettlement, local hunters have been enlisted to dispose of radiated wild boars that roam the abandoned streets and buildings. The film follows a lone hunter into the isolated landscape. "The Toxic Pigs of Fukushima" was inspired by the photographs of Toru Hanai and Yuki Iwanami, and the score was written and performed by renowned artist Midori Takada.
