A big thank you to all the speakers, participants and cooperation partners who joined us in Berlin for helping us to make the congress "5 years living with Fukushima - 30 years living with Chernobyl" a great success. Such a congress lives and breathes through its participants.

This work-in-progress screening of the latest film about the Fukushima nuclear disaster by Ian Thomas Ash (In the Grey Zone, 2012, and A2-B-C, 2013), is a collection of some of the dozens of oral histories he has collected since the nuclear disaster in 2011. Previously unpublished footage from his two feature documentaries about the Fukushima nuclear disaster, which contain meanings that only passing time could have revealed, are combined with the testimonies he has filmed since, spanning the nearly five years since the nuclear catastrophe.
