Two years since the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant went into full
meltdown, and the resulting 20km evacuation zone was enforced, one
farmer still remains behind braving high levels of radiation and
loneliness to tend to abandoned animals.
His name is Naoto Matsumura, and he is the last man standing in the ghost town of Tomioka. Another farmer, Kenji Hasegawa's town of Iidate was also evacuated due to high levels of radiation, he sought refuge in temporary housing. Faced with a postnuclear world both these men share brutally honest views on the state of their lives, TEPCO, government inaction and some of the hardest situations they have had to face in the midst of overwhelming radioactivity.
