Surviving the Tsunami brings together social, environmental, and personal perspectives of the national catastrophe of the Fukushima nuclear meltdown. In the documentary, Kyoko Miyake travels back to her hometown in Namie, Fukushima, to revisit her old life and assess the trauma still lingering from the disaster. She revisits Namie, her mother's hometown and meets the people who depended on the success of the nuclear plant for their livelihood. The film also follows Bunsei Watanabe and Kyoko Miyake's Aunt Kuniko, two people who hope for the rejuvenation of Namie, despite the disaster that has occurred. Despite having lost family, friends, and jobs due to the meltdown and subsequent fear of the contamination zone, these two individuals are determined to rebuild their towns and neighborhoods and bring back the sense of community they once had. The film follows the residents of Namie, with emphasis on the experiences of Aunt Kuniko, as they come to terms with the reality of living in or near the "radiation zone" left in the wake the plant's nuclear meltdown. Surviving the Tsunami offers a different perspective on Japanese culture, national identity, human adaption, and global nuclear energy and proliferation.

En Corée du Sud, le ferry Sewol sombra le 16 Avril 2014 avec 476 passagers à son bord. La majorité des passagers furent pris au piège en respectant l'ordre du capitaine : "Restez dans vos cabines". Quelques minutes plus tard, le capitaine fuyait le ferry à bord d'un canot de sauvetage. Le bilan fût de 304 morts noyés, dont 250 étudiants du lycée Danwon qui était en voyage scolaire vers l'île Jeju. Bien que neuf corps soient encore dans le ferry, le gouvernement coréen à repousser toutes opérations indéfiniment. Le gouvernement de PARK Geun-Hye refusa de reconnaître sa responsabilité dans ce désastre, notamment au niveau des opérations de sauvetages. Certaines familles de victime vont jusqu'à affirmer que le gouvernement a sacrifié les passagers plutôt que de réellement les sauver.

Après le tournage du film Titanic qui l'avait poussé à faire plusieurs plongées sur le site de l'épave du paquebot reposant à près de 4 000 mètres de profondeur dans l'océan Atlantique, James Cameron revient sur les lieux du drame accompagné d'une équipe scientifique et de l'acteur Bill Paxton. À l'aide des submersibles Mir et de robots guidés à distance, l'équipe parvient à filmer des lieux inédits du navire, notamment certains de ses intérieurs comme sa salle de réception des premières classes.
