Labor Video Project recently released Mothers of Fukushima.  A powerful short documentary that gives voice to “the mothers in Fukushima and refugees who left Fukushima to protect their children and families.” These families are now “being told by TEPCO and the Japanese government with the support of the US government and the International Atomic Energy Agency IAEA that they can overcome radiation and that Fukushima can be “decontaminated.”

Well, you can’t just overcome radiation and it will take decades upon decades to decontaminate. In the meantime these innocent families will continue to pay the highest of prices for the miserable failure by the Japanese government to simply protect them.
