'Don’t Forget Fukushima' Tour 2014

Three years after the Fukushima nuclear disaster, Greenpeace brought six witnesses from India, Korea, Poland, Germany and France in February 2014 to meet the five Fukushima victims profiled in January. The witnesses learned about the hardships of first having to evacuate because of high levels of radiation and then because the government has abandoned them and not provided fair compensation so they can rebuild their lives.
