The Atomic Artists (2011x19)

After the largest recorded earthquake in Japan set off a nuclear disaster, its people are facing a generation-defining moment as they question their lifestyle and dependency on nuclear power. In The Atomic Artists, FRONTLINE journeys with Marco Werman of PRI's The World as he meets Chim Pom, a provocative group of young artists making headlines as they use art to challenge the status quo and ask Japanese society to rethink their way of life.
