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.

American Revolution 2
American Revolution 2 (1969)

Origin USA
Genres Documentary
Themes Documentary films about historical events, Documentary films about politics, Political films

American Revolution 2 commence par des images des manifestations politiques à la Convention démocratique de 1968 et de la réaction énergique du service de police de Chicago et de la Garde nationale. Enquêtant sur l'absence de présence afro-américaine lors des manifestations, les cinéastes suivent les membres de la section de Chicago du Black Panther Party alors qu'ils recherchent un terrain d'entente avec une variété de groupes militants blancs. Dans une scène, Panther Bobby Lee et des membres des Young Patriots, une communauté de militants blancs des Appalaches vivant dans le quartier Uptown de Chicago, s'organisent pour protester contre la brutalité policière. Les groupes apparemment disparates trouvent des objectifs sociaux et politiques communs qui surmontent les différences raciales - violence policière, pauvreté, manque d'emploi et mauvaises conditions de vie. Ce potentiel pour un mouvement politique inter-racial et interethnique est le rêve beau mais non réalisé du film.
