Minamisoma, Fukushima Prefecture
Earthquake, tsunami, nuclear catastrophe.
This is a record of people in that one town caught up in the triple disaster.
Threatened by the unseen forces of radiation, what did the residents do? What was their state of mind?
"Why should we evacuate, why do we have to flee?"
Toshikazu Owada, Minamisoma City Official: They came in from the lobby over there. Self Defense Force personnel. Running and shouting, "The nuclear plant will explode. Evacuate to at least 100 kilometers."
They were shouting in loud voices and rushing all around.
Outside a steady stream of Self Defense Force vehicles was already heading out of town.
Seeing them evacuate made me realize this was serious.

Japan might soon experience its own gold rush! Scientists are hoping to tap the vast deposits of gold, silver, copper, and other rare metals found in oceanic plate boundaries. State-of-the-art Japanese technology is being employed to locate and extract metals from these deposits, which are produced by the dynamic forces at work inside our planet. Japan was once referred to as "Zipangu" by Marco Polo, a land fabled for its gold. With all of the new gold deposits being discovered in Japanese waters, Zipangu might not be a myth after all.

Voices from 3.11: A Town Torn Apart; Namie, Fukushima Prefecture Namie, in Fukushima Prefecture, was hit by a tsunami after the Great East Japan Earthquake. A day later, people within a 10-kilometer radius of the local nuclear power plant had to evacuate before they could search for lost family members. It was more than a month before the search began.
Survivors couldn't identify bodies that had been lying outside for so long. They're wracked with guilt for being unable to perform proper burial rites. This program highlights their heart-wrenching experience.

It’s been about 2 years since the accident. Nuclear power plants across the country still store huge amounts of spent fuel. No one has found a way to deal with the spent fuel. Nor no sites have been found for its final disposal. The spent fuel kept piling up. It now amounts to 17 thousand tons for Japan as a whole. Some nuclear plants could run out of storage space in about 2 years if they were to go back online. What can be done about this nuclear waste which has nowhere to go? We’ll explore several paths to resolving this critical issue

Mt. Rishiri (1,721 meters) floats in Japan's northernmost sea. In February, when seasonal winds blow from the sea, winter is at its harshest. Daisuke Sasaki, one of Japan's most famous backcountry skiers, dares to ski down 1,400 meters of unforgiving cliffs, some with a gradient of 50 degrees. But even before he can ski down, Sasaki must first face the ordeal of climbing the mountain with ski equipment on his back. This documentary follows Sasaki as he challenges-and ultimately succeeds in-skiing down the snowy mountain, despite the unavoidable risk of avalanches.

Two years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake, an unprecedented disaster which resulted in profound and wide-ranging devastation. Global attention is focused on the repercussions of the nuclear accident in Fukushima, where, even two years after the disaster, many people are still living in dire straits.
One Fukushima resident is Genyu Sokyu, a Buddhist monk and author who has vowed to remain in Fukushima, no matter what. In addition to playing an active role in restoration efforts, and proposing measures to contain the effects of radiation, he has been drawing attention to the plight of Fukushima by publishing a diary. He wrote day-to-day accounts of the disaster's aftermath for several months.
"Even though I'm painfully aware of the countless numbers of people who are still suffering, there is a limit to what a single person can do. Our only hope is to pray. Yet realizing how powerless one is, and finding resilience through prayer, does not mean that one is content to do nothing. I believe that we are able to draw strength from our prayers, the strength that enables us to move forward."
Robert Campbell visited Genyu at Fukujuji, his temple. Campbell asked Genyu about life in Fukushima, and about the values modern Japan needs to uphold.
Campbell also met with several other residents of Fukushima who are involved in the restoration effort, including a young farmer who is tackling misinformation regarding the safety of Fukushima produce, and an Englishwoman who writes a blog about life in Fukushima. This program hopes to shed light on what life is really like in Fukushima today, and, by doing so, offer insights into Japan's future.

Soon after atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, a black rain containing radioactive materials fell from the sky. No detailed data has ever been released on where this contaminated rain fell, and the extent of this form of radiation. But at the end of 2011, enquiries by a doctor in Nagasaki led to the disclosure that investigators in the 1950s had collected data on some 13,000 people exposed to black rain. Why has this information yet to be released -- 67 years after the atomic bombings? And what might we learn from these cases today? Our investigation includes accounts from survivors.

It has been nearly 70 years since the end of the Pacific War. Over 800 people have been recorded by NHK bearing personal witness to their wartime experiences. The Japanese military expanded operations beyond the nation's capacity. Even as signs of looming defeat grew more ominous, many servicemen and civilians were sacrificed, the majority in the last year or so of the war. Why did so many people have to die? We hear from veterans who survived horrors, and from villagers whose loved ones never returned.

Fukushima Evacuees Face Difficult Choices
After the nuclear accident at Fukushima, the government restricted access to the area within 20km of the power plant. But as radiation levels fell, the area was divided into a zone to which residents might be able to return and another that remains unlivable. This program focuses on 2 towns, Namie and Futaba that ended up with very different fates. We look at the hard choices residents had to make to move on with their lives.

During the winter months, Kushiro Marshland in eastern Hokkaido, Japan, is home to the celebrated red-crowned crane or "tancho." As temperatures plunge, these cranes flock to the marshland where an underground spring provides warmth and prevents the water from freezing, and the local people provide food to nurture the birds back from the brink of extinction. These mass gatherings are fraught affairs with limited space and predators close by, but as winter progresses one of nature's most spectacular courtship rituals begins where courting birds mirror each other's movements in graceful, spellbinding displays that can last for days. Against the ever-changing backdrop of Japan's great marshland, a love story unfolds
