In November 2013, Berlin based Musician Manami N. visited her home country Japan for the first time after the catastrophe in 2011.
During this visit and by filming a video documentary in Fukushima her understanding of that event turned from preconceived images by media into a "real" experience. Parallel to the screening, Manami N. and journalist Daniél Kretschmer (TAZ) who happened to be in Japan during the same period, will talk about their impressions of Japan's current society.
The video consists:
- Message from Katsurao Village, Fukushima
