But if for the first two, Japan, once again, showed from the very
first days its great ability to react, thanks mainly to the strength and dignity of its people,
as far as the Fukushima catastrophe is concerned, we find ourselves facing a situation worse
than the traditional code of silence, irresponsibility and ability to manipulate which the
so-called “nuclear village” managed to conjure up to hide the irrefutable truth: the danger
of nuclear energy.
The documentary film
Fukushima A Nuclear Story – produced by Teatro
Primo Studio/Film Beyond, directed by Matteo Gagliardi, based on my book
Tsunami Nucleare
– helps all those who still have doubts about the “sustainability” of nuclear energy to
make up their minds once and for all.
Not so much thanks to the detailed reconstruction
of the incident – which, the “negationists” rightly point out, caused no direct victims – but
more for the ongoing, potentially dangerous state the reactors are currently in, thanks to the
film’s in-depth analysis and the witness statements, especially those directly from the mouth
of the ex-Japanese premier Kan Naoto.
A politician who found the courage to “change his
mind”, and who for this was forced to resign, in the very moment in which Japan needed
an honest, competent and determined leadership.
