CHERNOBYL HEART

"CHERNOBYL HEART"(2003/USA)
Synopsis
This Academy Award-winning documentary takes a look at children born after the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear plant disaster who have been born with a deteriorated heart condition.

This documentary was filmed 8 years ago, but it was released in Japan this year.
Now, everywhere in Japan, the radiation-related documentaries are appearing one after another.
The tragedy in March 11th, was not only due to natural disasters. There is no sign of converging accident in Fukushima because of radioactivity. There are still many people who cannot go home. I am very sad for them.
Ordinary people like me, thought  nuclear power plants were safe untill the accident happened.
Since Japan is a poor country in terms of resources, nuclear power was a dream power supply especially for pepople in the past. As evidence, world-famous Japanese cartoon characters, DORAEMON and ASTRO BOY are powered by nuclear energy. They are heroes for children, but I think their bodies are dangerous.
Radioactivity from Fukushima Daiichi nucler power plant is spreading like a  infectious diseases and has no sign of convergence.
Many chidren with a deteriorated heart condition were born after Chermobyl nuclear plant disaster.　We should learn a lot of things from this movie. 

I want to introduce this short film to you. This was made by Japanese director,Yukihiro Shoda.
In the second half of this film, you will see a girl wearing a red dress and is looking Taro Okamoto's mural. his mural "The Myth of Tomorrow", depicts a human figure being hit by an atomic bomb.
It's only four minutes of this fiction video, but it is a very shocking prediction of the future for me. I also want to hear your impressions.

My rating:★★★★
