Inside The Radioactive Ghost Town Of Fukushima ( 15 Years Later )

In 2011, Fukushima, Japan was hit by the most devastating nuclear disaster in modern history. This is the story of the Fukushima earthquake, the tsunami, the nuclear meltdown, and the abandoned towns left behind in the Fukushima exclusion zone. Explore what the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster left behind — empty schools, frozen classrooms, abandoned homes, and streets reclaimed by nature. This is what Fukushima looks like today, 15 years after the evacuation, and why entire towns like Futaba are still ghost towns. If you've ever wondered what happens when humans disappear, what the world looks like after people leave, or what really happened at Fukushima nuclear power plant, this documentary breaks down the timeline.
