Five years ago a killer tsunami knocked out the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, spewing radiation and forcing 160,000 people to flee their homes. Authorities in Japan want locals to think \u201cnothing happened,\u201d documentary director Jeffrey Jousan told RT.<\/div>\n

\u201cThe government prints the number of people who died as a result of the 2011 disaster in the newspapers every day. [In some other prefectures], the [death toll] amounts to 300-400 people in each prefecture, but in Fukushima it is over 8,000 people,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Jousan, a US director and producer who has been living and working in Japan since 1990, said.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cIt is very telling about the situation in Fukushima. It is hard for everyone who is affected by the tsunami, who lost their homes and lost their families. But [in Fukushima], people are not able to go back home, they are unable to work because people won\u2019t buy food from Fukushima, farmers cannot farm anymore. It is affecting people, and more people are dying because of that.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

It is shocking\u2026 to see [how] many people have died in Fukushima,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0the co-director of the documentary film \u2018Alone in the Zone\u2019 told RT.<\/p>\n
